Ha giang

Trip Highlight
Ha giang loop views! This is a tour you can book for either 2N, 3 days or 3N, 4 days which i recommend the 4 days one. You will sit on the back of a motorbike for 4 days and drive through endless amounts of rice fields and mountains and see local villages, and stay in a different home stay along the way each night. it’s one of the best things you can d in all of vietnam! there’s many tour companies you can go through. Mamas, jasmine, and bong hostel are the most popular, but i went with a smaller company called “Hagiang motorventures” and i LOVED THEM & highly recommend you can mention “wheretonexttt” to them if you’re booking for a discount of $10 off!
