We want to hike in Ha Giang with long hiking days but keep away from the motorbikes, what do you suggest?
Answered by: Nguyen Linh
You can do a good 4 day itinerary that gets you deep into Hmong areas where motorbikes don't reach. You start with Ha Giang – Nam Dam, trekking 12–15km (6–8 hrs) through farmland and stay in a Dao homestay. The next day it's Nam Dam – Lao Xa – Dong Van, a scenic trek featuring remote high peak views. The third day it's Dong Van – Thien Huong – Meo Vac, approximately 6 hours hiking through karst landscapes. Then the fourth day is Meo Vac – Lung Tam – Ha Giang returning to the city by 17:00.
