The Experience in Detail

Starting Out in Hanoi

The tour kicks off with a pickup from the Hanoi Capsule Station hostel early in the morning, setting the tone for a well-organized trip. We appreciated the free dorm bed in Hanoi upon arrival, making it easy to settle in before the adventure begins. The VIP bus ride to Ha Giang is smooth and comfortable, allowing us to relax and get excited about the next two days.

Day 1: From Ha Giang to Dong Van

Upon arriving in Ha Giang city, we check into a cozy hostel and then meet our guide, who was friendly, fluent in English, and clearly knew the route inside out. We loved the ride along the Bac Son Pass — narrow, twisting roads with panoramic views over lush valleys. The Quan Ba Heaven Gate offered a chance for photographs and to marvel at the Twin Mountains, which are as iconic as they come in this region.

Lunch in Yen Minh Town is not just fuel but a chance to sample some local fare, often praised for its quality and variety. We then continued through the Can Ty Pass and the Tham Ma Pass, each offering more spectacular vistas that seem to change with every mile.

One highlight was visiting the Hmong King’s Palace in Dong Van Town, where we learned about its history and significance. The guide’s stories made the old stone buildings come alive. We then checked into a hotel in Dong Van, which was comfortable, clean, and perfect for resting after a day of riding.

Day 2: The Majestic Passes and Return to Hanoi

Day two started with breakfast in Dong Van, followed by a ride through the Sky Pass, which truly lives up to its name with jaw-dropping views of the limestone karsts and deep valleys. The star of the day was the Ma Pi Leng Pass. As we rode along, we couldn’t help but feel a thrill at the sheer cliffs and winding road. Passing Hmong villages gave us a glimpse into local life, and we appreciated the chance to stop for photos and to breathe in the scenery.

Lunch again in Yen Minh, followed by the journey back toward Ha Giang City, marked the end of our scenic circuit. The return VIP bus ride was just as comfortable as the trip north, allowing us to reflect on the stunning views we had just experienced.

A Few Considerations

The semi-automatic motorbikes require a bit of skill, and the roads are often narrow and winding. If you’re not comfortable with motorbike riding or prone to motion sickness, it’s worth considering whether this adventure suits you. Also, the tour is not ideal for very young children or seniors over 70, based on the group restrictions.
