  • Day 2: Trekking In Ha Giang (B/L/D)
    • Your best off the beaten tracks places to see in Vietnam will begin today by setting out from the homestay in the morning and trekking for about 6 to 8 hours to the village of Lung Vai. Along this trek, you’ll get to take in the beauty of the terraced rice paddies, majestic mountains and serene palm-tree forests. You’ll also run into people from many different ethnic groups along the way, such as Man and Dao, who are generally more than happy to stop and interact with travellers for a short while.

      You’ll enjoy a picnic lunch amidst nature before continuing to the remote village of Khuoi My. En route there will be many farmers working in the fields, and if we have the time you can even join in for some farm work if you so desire.

      Finally, we move on to Ban Tha Village, where our driver will pick you up and drive you to Nam Dam, where you can enjoy a home-cooked local meal and spend the night in a homestay operated by a Dzao family.
      - A 13-15 km trek.

  • Day 3: Quan Ba - Dong Van (B/L/D)
    • As we set out from Ha Giang after getting our permit from the immigration office, your journey to Dong Van will be filled with spectacular landscapes in the form of a series of long passes. En route you will stop for lunch at the small and beautiful mountain village of Tam Son, before heading to the majestic “King of the H’mong Palace”, a fortress built by a local chief, Vuong Chin Duc, who allied himself with French forces against the Viet Minh. Built in the 1900’s, this palace was designed in the style of ancient Chinese architecture dating to the Qing era, and it was made from materials such as solid stone blocks, wood and terracotta tiles.

      You will stop for lunch in the mountain town of Dong Van, before heading out on a 3.5 hour trek to the highest mountain in Dong Van where you can enjoy some truly breath-taking panoramic views. We’ll also visit H’mong, Lo Lo and Giay ethnic villages in this incredible, untouched frontier region.

      Rounding out the day, you will be driven back to Dong Van for dinner and a night in a hotel.
      - A 8-10 km trek.

    • After breakfast, you will get to explore Dong Van Old Quarter, before making the trek off the beaten path up to Pu Lo fortress which was built in 1890 and evacuated in 1945. From here you can enjoy spectacular views of the entire region, before climbing 8 km to the top of Ma Pi Leng Pass, through a gigantic maze of limestone peaks, stone forests, and canyons before descending into the valley of Meo Vac.

      Once the trekking is done, you will be driven back to Ha Giang for dinner and an overnight stay in a hotel.

  • Day 5: Ha Giang - Hanoi (B/L)
    • On the final day of the tour, we’ll take you along the road less travelled to get back to Hanoi. On this route you’ll follow the rivers as it snakes from pass to pass through the hills of Central-North Vietnam. The locals here are likely to be fascinated by your presence, as the area sees very few foreign visitors, so it’s a great time to interact with the locals and learn about their culture.

      Before we reach Hanoi we’ll make a stop in Duong Lam Ancient Village, where centuries old houses can be viewed and explored. Finally we’ll you off at your hotel in Hanoi after stopping for lunch in a local restaurant along the way.

The hiking was incredible. We also loved sharing meals with our guide and driver and swimming in a waterfall.
Review of: Ha Giang Hiking Trails 5 days 4 nights
Mr Cuong was a safe, friendly and trustworthy driver. We enjoyed spending time with him. Mr Manh was great and we liked his sense of humour! There could be a little bit more 'getting to know you' before the tour. E.g we are young and fit and sometimes outpaced Mr Manh on our hiking. It would also be good to be asked about our interests to inform some of the content of the tour (e.g I am especially interested in agriculture and crafts and were most interested to learn about these ...Read Moretopics). Overall though we are very very happy and really enjoyed our time! Thank you Manh and Cuong for your kindness and inclusvity Read Less

Loved the market visits. The hiking was great but we didn't anticipate such heat and humidity.
Review of: Ha Giang Hiking Trails 5 days 4 nights
Great to have air-conditioning. Our Guide, Giang and Driver, Long we're very helpful. Long was very helpful and friendly. Always felt safe. Giang gave excellent service in a friendly manner. Both he and the driver made an excellent team. Good value for money. We've seen some places most tourist don't see. Giang was very good at adjusting things to meet our needs. Perhaps more details about the physical requirements needed to complete the treks in hot, humid weather

I couldn’t recommend this tour enough, Helen who works for the company was amazing. Her infinite patience and help to soothe anxieties faced when traveling with two children was incredible.

Incredible Trekking in North Vietnam
Review of: Trekking around Ha Giang 5 days 4 nights
We had an incredible 5 days trekking through the mountains and rice fields in Vietnam’s north. The scenery was spectacular! Our guide Sonny was really knowledgeable and helpful. Most of all we loved how quiet and tourist free the trails were! All of the accomodation was fantastic- a mix of home-stays and hotels. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Ha Giang guided trekking!
Review of: Trekking around Ha Giang 5 days 4 nights
We did 5 days of trekking from Ha Giang to Ba Be with our wonderful guide, Long Tran,, and our excellent driver, Mr. Duy, from Mr. Linh's Adventures.We absolutely loved all the trekking, Long took us on hikes we never would have found ourselves. Hiking in the Ha Giang area, and our Sky Trek hike from Ma Pi Leng Pass were 2 of the highlights. We also loved the homestays and hotels they arranged for us.

5-Day Ha Giang Province Trekking Tour
Review of: Trekking around Ha Giang 5 days 4 nights
My fiancé, sister and I booked our guided trekking tour just a few weeks out from our intended travel days, and from start to finish, Mr. Linh’s office and guiding staff went above and beyond to provide us with a safe, fun, worthwhile experience.

From the beginning, communications with the office were frequent, helpful, and consistent. Kevin’s attentiveness and attention to detail laid to rest any initial reservations or hesitance I felt about booking a
...Read Moretour with a local operator from so far away.

From the itinerary to our guide and driver: I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Thanks to the willingness of our guide Loi to spread his love and enthusiasm to everyone we encountered, he helped break down any cultural and language barriers so we could learn from and experience the beauty of the people in the villages we’d trek by. Loi is a giver. He cared for my sister when she came down with flu like symptoms, he accommodated all of our food preferences, offered us options for our days, and is just a great guy, and now a lifetime friend.

Our driver Long was also a joy to be around—and though he spoke very little English, he did everything to make us feel at home! I can not express enough praise for the work he did—we felt so safe driving up some of the craziest roads, and his kind-hearted gestures over our meals and when he didn’t have to drive will never be forgotten.

The sheer beauty of the far north is the stuff of dreams. We encountered very few tourists up there, and I hope that those who visit in the years to come will tread lightly, and respect this sacred space and the people that breathe life into it.

Thank you to everyone from Mr. Lihn’s for the trip of a lifetime.
