Explore Ha Giang with Shared 3-Day Tour from Hanoi

Ha Giang - Quan Ba - Du Gia Village (120 km)

After breakfast, we start driving to 4C highway “Road of happiness” and take photo at “Km0”, then we get out of the city and head to the North. We climb up the Quan Ba mountain pass and enter the Dong Van Geopark then reach the Heaven’s Gate and pass the Fairy Hills. In or around the small town of Tam Son we find our lunch. There after we venture deep into Ha Giang mountains and reach the picturesque village of Du Gia. Here we will stay with an ethnic minority family at their homestay. We will have dinner and breakfast with the family.

After lunch, we will visit Lung Tam linen village is known as a long-standing traditional craft village of brocade weaving by the Hmong on Dong Van plateau, Ha Giang province.

Du Gia is an unknown quiet village in Ha Giang. This place is visited almost exclusively by travelers who do the Ha Giang loop in 3 days or more. The best thing about this place is the peaceful and unspoiled beauty with its majestic natural landscape of mountains and rice paddies around it. In addition, the local people here are exceptionally hospitable and friendly.

Du Gia - Meo Vac - Nho Que river - Ma Pi Leng pass - Dong Van (150 km)

We say thanks to the family of the homestay and head to the north, passing some of the most magnificent mountain passes you will ever have seen, into the town of Meo Vac (where we take lunch). Then you will take a boat trip on Nho Que river that passes through Tu San Abyss Alley and runs along Ma Pi Leng mountains. Lastly, you will move up the majestic Ma Pi Leng mountain pass and check in our homestay. Free time to relax or walking around Old Hmong village to know more about local people’s life. Dinner and overnight at homestay.

The Ma Pi Leng pass is the most impressive mountain pass in Vietnam at an altitude of 1,500 meters. It is located between Dong Van and Meo Vac, two cities in the far north of Vietnam in Ha Giang province, close to the border with China. It is the most amazing mountain road in all of Vietnam. It lies along the asphalted national road 4C with the nickname “The Happiness Road”. The road was built in the 60s by a lot of workers, mainly ethnic minorities from the area. It took 11 years to finish the whole road. It is known as the King of Vietnamese mountain passes. There are cliffs and abysses almost everywhere along the route and enough hairpin bends to get dizzy. The road along the mountainside has a romantic, breathtaking landscape that is ideal for motorcycling. The road to the top, considered “the Great Wall of Vietnam”, feels like a scene from a fairy tale.
