Ha Giang Loop: 4-Day Easyrider Tour with Private Rooms

Summary

Mountain roads, village markets, laughter with guides and the wind

You’ll ride through wild mountain passes and quiet villages on this 4-day Ha Giang loop tour with Easyrider guides. Meet Hmong and Red Dao locals at markets, stay in private rooms each night, taste home-cooked meals, and stand at Vietnam’s northern edge — all while sharing stories along winding roads.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll admit, I was nervous when we first rolled out of Ha Giang on those little 150cc bikes. There’s this mix of excitement and “what did I just sign up for?” But then our guide Minh grinned back at us — he had that calm way about him, like nothing could go wrong. The air smelled sharp, almost green, and the road twisted right into the hills before I could overthink it. We’d stop in tiny villages — Tam Son, Yen Minh — where kids waved and old women in bright headscarves sold fruit from baskets. I tried a slice of something purple; no idea what it was but it tasted sweet and earthy.

One afternoon stands out: we reached Dong Van just as the market was winding down. It wasn’t loud anymore, just quiet voices and the clink of bowls as people packed up. Minh pointed out a group of Red Dao women laughing over tea. He told us about their embroidery — I still remember the feel of one scarf she let me touch, rough but beautiful. We ate dinner at a homestay that night; sticky rice, pork cooked with herbs I couldn’t name. Everyone sat around one low table swapping stories in half-English, half-laughter.

The next morning was cold enough to see your breath as we climbed toward Lung Cu flag tower — northernmost point in Vietnam. My hands were numb on the handlebars but that view… you know how some places make you feel really small in a good way? That’s Lung Cu. Later we rode Ma Pi Leng Pass with cliffs dropping away below us and clouds snagged on the peaks. Minh kept calling out “slow here!” but honestly my heart was already pounding from the view (and maybe from my questionable cornering skills). So yeah, if you’re thinking about a day trip Ha Giang loop or want to do the full four days — just do it. The road gets under your skin.
