Ha Giang Loop 🏍️

After the most comfortable 6 hours bus journey, our next adventure was the famous Ha Giang Loop. The Ha Giang Loop is a motorbike journey through northern Vietnam's rugged highlands. It provides an immersive experience into the region's natural beauty and cultural richness 🏍️
We chose a 3 days / 2 nights tour, covering approximately 340 kilometers, which began and ended in Ha Giang City, and was traversing several villages and districts like Quan Ba, Yen Minh, Dong Van, and Meo Vac.

We took the option “easy riders”, meaning having drivers driving us the whole time so we could enjoy the wonderful landscapes. All drivers and our tour guide (Kiss) were locals coming from the surrounding villages. Kiss had very good English, always a smile on and nice words or explanations 🤗

The tour was a great mix of seeing breathtaking mountains, valleys, rivers and rice terraces, and visiting local families and villages to have an insight of the daily life in these rural areas ⛰️ It was very interesting to see how diverse northern Vietnam is, with various ethnic groups such as Dao, Tay, Hmong, and Kinh living very close to eachother.

We were a group of 8 people, the 4 of us with 2 couples from Israel and we had a great time together during the day and in the evening while having dinner and some happy water (local schnaps) 🍽️

The tour was wonderful and very special, but we were all happy to be back after 3 days of sitting on a motorbike as our buts were hurting a lot!! 🙈😂Baca lagi
