Detailed itinerary

At Phieu Travel, we understand that not everyone has days to spare for a long journey. With years of experience running Ha Giang Loop tours, we know how to design an itinerary that captures the region’s beauty and culture within a short timeframe.

This 2 days 1 night Ha Giang Loop is carefully crafted to cover the most iconic stops along the route. Each day is balanced between sightseeing and rest, giving you a comfortable and rewarding experience even on a tight schedule.

Day 1: Ha Giang – Bac Sum Pass – Quan Ba Heaven’s Gate – Twin Mountains – Yen Minh – Vuong Family Palace – Dong Van (155km)

Phieu Travel provides a convenient round-trip sleeper bus service, taking you directly from Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Sapa, Ha Long, or Cat Ba to Ha Giang City center. Most buses depart in the evening and arrive early the next morning, giving you time to rest before starting the tour. The detailed Day 1 itinerary is as follows.

4:00 AM

The sleeper bus arrives in Ha Giang City early in the morning. Travelers check in at Phieu Homestay and enjoy a few hours of free rest before the journey begins. The homestay offers a cozy, fully equipped space where you can relax, freshen up, and get ready for the day ahead.

8:00 AM

After breakfast at Phieu Homestay, the tour guide meets the group and gives a brief overview of the day’s journey. For self-driving guests, there is a short training session covering safety rules and key points along the Ha Giang Loop route.

Leaving Ha Giang City, the group heads toward the Dong Van Karst Plateau. The first stop is Bac Sum Pass, famous for its winding roads and panoramic mountain views stretching over 8 km (5 miles).

Next is Quan Ba Heaven’s Gate, a scenic viewpoint overlooking the wide Quan Ba Valley. Close by, travelers can admire the Fairy Twin Mountains, two uniquely shaped hills rising from lush green rice fields.

Continuing the journey, the group passes Can Ty Slope – a narrow, winding road carved along limestone cliffs. From here, you can enjoy views of terraced fields and small Hmong villages dotted along the hillsides.

12:30 PM – 1:00 PM

Lunch is served at a local restaurant in Yen Minh Town, giving travelers time to recharge before continuing the journey.

After the meal, the tour follows Tham Ma Pass, known for its sharp curves and stunning mountain views. This stretch is popular among photographers and adventure riders.

Next comes Pho Cao Valley, an open landscape with traditional Hmong houses and fields stretching along both sides of the road.

The day concludes with a visit to the Vuong Family Palace (Hmong King Palace). This historic mansion, built from stone and wood, offers insight into the royal life of the Hmong people in the early 20th century.

Night 1: Overnight stay at Dong Van Town

After a full day of travel, Dong Van Town offers a well-deserved rest. This is where the group settles in for the night before continuing the loop the next morning.

5:00 PM – 6:00 PM

The group arrives in Dong Van Town and checks in at a local homestay or hotel. Rooms offer basic comforts like clean bedding, hot showers, and a cozy atmosphere for a good night’s rest.

7:00 PM

Dinner is served at a nearby restaurant, featuring local dishes typical of the northern highlands. After the meal, travelers can explore Dong Van Old Quarter, enjoy the evening vibe, and join small cultural exchange activities with local people.

Day 2: Dong Van – Ma Pi Leng – Nho Que River – M-Shaped Curve – Duong Thuong – Ha Giang City – Hanoi

The second day begins with more iconic landscapes and memorable experiences before the group returns to Ha Giang City and boards the bus back to Hanoi.

7:30 AM

After breakfast, the group departs from Dong Van Town, heading toward Ma Pi Leng Pass. This is one of the four most famous passes in Vietnam, known for its steep cliffs and dramatic views stretching over 20 km (12.4 miles).

From the top of Ma Pi Leng Pass, travelers can admire the tranquil landscape of the Nho Que River winding through the deep valley below. This is one of the most photographed spots along the Ha Giang Loop.

9:45 AM

The tour continues with a boat trip on the Nho Que River. Cruising between towering limestone cliffs, visitors can marvel at the majestic Tu San Canyon – the deepest canyon in Southeast Asia. The emerald-green water creates a striking contrast against the grey rock walls.

10:30 AM

After the river cruise, the group travels to Meo Vac Town for lunch. This small town sits between mountains and serves as a cultural hub for the ethnic minority communities living nearby.

Following lunch, the journey continues along the M-shaped curve, a scenic mountain road known for its sharp bends and panoramic views over the valley below.

The final leg takes the group along Thuong Road, passing through Thai An and back toward Ha Giang City. This stretch offers peaceful countryside scenes with terraced fields and scattered ethnic homes.

The tour officially ends at Phieu Homestay in Ha Giang City. Travelers can enjoy a free shower and take some time to rest while waiting for the evening sleeper bus back to Hanoi.
