About this trip
Four days on the full Ha Giang – Quan Ba – Yen Minh – Dong Van – Meo Vac loop, about 350km of mountain road. You travel by 9-seat limousine van and a 16-seat bus on the plateau — no motorbike riding required, so it suits families and older travellers.
Your guide is a Hmong local from Dong Van who speaks Vietnamese and English and takes the group to market days and friends’ homes rather than stops built for tour buses.
- Ma Pi Leng Pass at dawn with clouds still sitting in the canyon
- A boat through the Tu San gorge on the Nho Que River
- The Vuong Family Mansion — home of the old “Hmong king”
- Lung Cu Flag Tower at Vietnam’s northernmost point
- Dong Van or Meo Vac Sunday market (on Sunday departures)
- Thang co stew, au tau porridge and Thanh Van corn wine
