Why discover the Ha Giang loop?

Nestled in the extreme north of the country, the Ha Giang loop is one of the most beautiful roads in Vietnam.
It is an adventure both human and landscape, a journey into the heart of the mountains where nature expresses itself in all its power, and where the traditions of local ethnic groups have been perpetuated for centuries.

Grandiose and changing landscapes at every turn

Nicknamed "the road to paradise", the Ha Giang Loop winds between karst peaks, steep valleys and rice terraces.
Each stage reveals a new scene: the gray rocks of Dong Van, the vertiginous pass of Ma Pi Leng overlooking the river Nho Que, or the peaceful villages of Du Gia surrounded by golden rice fields.
Lovers of photography, nature and freedom will find here a still wild and preserved Vietnam, far from the classic tourist routes.
