Overview

Ride the classic Ha Giang Loop over three riding days, and start it properly. Day 1 is the difference: after the limousine from Hanoi, you walk through palm forest and terraced fields to Khuoi My, the Dao village where most of our team lives, and, in season, hand-roast Snow Shan tea with a local family. You sleep at TVPalm Ecolodge, then ride rested.

This is a private tour: only your own group of 2 to 8, no other guests added. Traveling alone? Message us before booking so we can confirm the price. Easy Riders, an English-speaking guide, private rooms, the meals listed, permits and safety gear are included.

The route runs through Quan Ba, Yen Minh, Dong Van, Ma Pi Leng and Du Gia, with time for viewpoints, Hmong cultural stops and village meals. Four calendar days include the Hanoi transfer; the Loop itself is three days.

Minimum age 14. Guests ride as passengers. Stops may change for weather, road closures or safety.
