Embark on a thrilling yet comfortable 3-day private Ha Giang Loop adventure from Ha Giang City, cruising through Vietnam’s most dramatic mountain scenery in an open-air military-style Jeep with a professional local driver and English-speaking guide.

This route takes you across high passes, rice terraces, and remote ethnic minority villages (H'Mong, Dao, Tay), stopping at iconic spots like Quan Ba Heaven Gate, Ma Pi Leng Pass, and the Nho Que River canyon. Day 1 winds through Quan Ba, Yen Minh, and Dong Van, with cultural visits to Lung Cam village and the Hmong King’s Palace. Day 2 crosses the breathtaking Ma Pi Leng Pass and cruises the Nho Que River to see Tu San Canyon, then returns via scenic roads to Ha Giang.
