Overview

Cruise Ha Giang’s legendary mountain roads in comfort and style aboard a private open-air military-style Jeep, designed to give you 360-degree views of Vietnam’s most dramatic landscapes—high passes, rice terraces, deep valleys, and ethnic minority villages (H'Mong, Dao, Tay).

This 3-day private tour (your group only, max 15 people) from Ha Giang City hits all the must-see highlights: Quan Ba Heaven Gate, Hmong King’s Palace, Ma Pi Leng Pass, Nho Que River, and hidden gems like Lung Cam village and Pao’s House. Enjoy the thrill of rugged terrain without the hassle of self-driving—your professional driver handles the steep, winding roads while your English-speaking guide shares stories of local culture and history.

Stay in cozy local homestays (private rooms), savor authentic home-cooked meals with families, and immerse yourself in the untouched beauty of northern Vietnam’s wild north.

Real talk: mountain roads are curvy and rugged—moderate fitness and comfort with motion are key; weather changes fast, so pack layers and rain gear.

Perfect for those wanting the full Ha Giang experience in safety and comfort—book early for clear days.
