HA GIANG LOOP, VIETNAM (2024) | How To Drive The Ha Giang Loop By Motorbike (+ Highlights & Tips)

The Ha Giang Loop is a scenic motorbike route located in the Ha Giang province in northern Vietnam. Stretching over 400 kilometers, this exhilarating loop has gained immense popularity in recent years. The northern part shares a border with China and is known for its rugged mountain landscapes and unique ethnic cultures. In fact, Ha Giang was cut off from the rest of Vietnam until the 1970s, so it’s often called Vietnam's "last frontier". Boundless and sparsely populated, it was the last part of the country to open up to tourism. The loop itself takes riders through winding mountainous roads, crossing picturesque valleys, towering limestone peaks, and quaint ethnic minority villages. In this video, we share our complete itinerary for the Ha Giang Loop along with all the information you need to do the trip yourself.

Tháng 1,2 là rất lạnh cho di chuyển, tháng 5,6 rất nóng, nắng, Tháng 6,7,8 hay bị lũ quét và đất đá bị nở rất nguy hiểm. Tháng 6,7,8 cũng là kỳ nghỉ của các gia đình Việt Nam và các công ty nên các địa điểm khá là đông đúc. Tháng 1,2 các bạn chuyển hướng về thành phố Hà Nội HCM, nơi có nhiều hoạt động đón tết âm lịch với văn hóa truyền thống. Chào mừng bạn đến Việt Nam.

    I think we paid about 600 USD for the entire trip for the two of us (4 days / 3 nights). That included the motorcycle rental, English speaking guide, accommodations, all the food, one extra easy rider, and one night before and after the loop in the Yolo guesthouse.

    Why would you recommend semi-automatic or regular shifting more than automatic? Is there a lot of engine brake needed? And... nice video btw. We start our loop tomorrow.

  • @worldwildhearts

    @worldwildhearts

    3 ай бұрын

    Manual / standard motorcycles are probably even better if you know how to ride them! Semi-automatic is usually used by tourists as most have limited experience. You definitely need engine brake as it gets very steep in some places. Good luck and enjoy!! 🤞

    The raining season has clear skies during the day but heavy rains in the evening / night which might lead to some landslides etc. I think the spring / autumn would've been best. So maybe between March to May or October to November. But we would also just add more flexibility in our days so we could've waited for the good days
