The Ha Giang Loop is the most famous motorbike road trip in Asia.
Poorly tarmacked roads are forgotten when the scenery is as staggeringly beautiful as this. The steep route winds under the shadow of the Northernmost mountain ranges of Vietnam. Passing by ravines of fog covered villages, lush jungle and limestone cliffs you feel like you’re driving through cover after cover of national geographic magazines.
The basic rule of thumb, “keep your eyes on the road” has never been so difficult.
If you are an experienced traveller, off-the-beaten-track navigator and motor-biker you can take this road trip on. If you’ve been on a moped once in Bali, go with a tour guide. Some of the lanes are less than a metre wide with a sheer drop cliff and a pretty hard limestone landing.
We recommend a 3 day motorbike tour like with – the Ha Giang Road Trip. Or simply book it through your backpacking hostel in Hanoi, it should cost anywhere from £150 -£250.
