Program

Day 1: Hanoi – Tuyen Quang – Ha Giang

Upon arrival at Noi Bai Airport, after clearing all customs procedures, please proceed to the exit gate and look for your driver, who will be waiting in the lobby, holding the signboard with your name on it, if you cannot locate your driver, please go to the Airport information counter situated in the middle of Domestic and International arrival lobby (inside the terminal) and call the emergency numbers provided in the confirmation voucher for assistance. Your driver will come to meet you up and transfer you directly to Ha Giang. Have lunch along the way. You will arrive in Ha Giang in the late afternoon. Overnight in Ha Giang

Day 2: Ha Giang – Quan Ba – Yen Minh

Today, your cycle begins. After breakfast, you will cycle toward the northeast of Ha Giang Province, which is still an undiscovered area so a lot of roads are nearly untouched and the scenery remains as it was a long time ago. Cycle along the reservoir through mountains towards the wonderful valley of Lung Tam Commune. Isolated from others, this area is alike an oasis with very few footprints of tourists. Continue with a less challenging ride on a paved road, meet your bus, and transfer to Yen Minh. Overnight in Yen Minh.

Day 3: Yen Minh – Dong Van – Meo Vac

Today you will ride on well-paved Highway 4. The ascending and descending is not over 10% and the view is breathtaking. As you cycle, you will make a stop at the House of Vuong Chi Sinh, who had been considered the King of the H’mong people, where his family still lives. The house is typical of the housing design of the White H’mong people, who prefer to live in very clean houses with graceful handmade rock fences surrounding their gardens. You will also get over the “Heaven Gate” pass to reach Dong Van town, whose central market is in a nearly one-century-old building representing the Vietnamese architecture of the early 20th century. Have lunch and walk around the town to visit the Old Quarter of Dong Van with one-century-old streets before heading to Meo Vac. The last 20km of cycling is along Ma Pi Leng Pass, the most difficult and scenic road in Vietnam. From here you can enjoy extremely beautiful mountain cliffs and see the Nho Que River as a tiny line at the bottom of the chasm. Overnight in Meo Vac.

Day 4: Meo Vac – Mau Due – Du Gia – Ha Giang

Wake up early if you wish to contemplate a specific character of ethnic groups of Vietnam – their weekly markets. After breakfast at the hotel and visiting the market, the van will take us down 40km to Mau Due, where you can start the longest part of cycling, the 90km mountainous zigzag unpaved road built by the Vietnam Army during the War with China which stayed untouched for more than 30 years. Life and culture here, as well as the scenery, remain with their original beauty, and you will meet many typical hill-tribal groups of Northeast Vietnam. You finish cycling in Na Sa and hop on the bus to Ha Giang for the overnight. Overnight in Ha Giang

Day 5: Ha Giang – Hanoi – Departure

After breakfast at the hotel, they will transfer you back to Hanoi.
