🗺️ The Loop route
★★★★★
"The Ha Giang Loop was one of the best experiences of our lives — thanks to Peter and the team. The bikes were comfortable, the drivers were safe, and they went out of their way to give us a real local experience. If you're wondering whether to book with HagiangTrips — just do it. You will not regret it."

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to ride the motorbike myself?
Not at all. Most guests choose the Easy Rider option — you sit comfortably behind an experienced local driver and focus on the scenery. Prefer extra comfort? We also offer Private SUV and open-top Jeep tours.
Do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to self-ride?
Yes. If you choose self-ride, you must have a valid IDP issued under the 1968 Vienna Convention with an A1 or A motorcycle endorsement. Without one, we strongly recommend the Easy Rider option to avoid legal issues.
Do I need a permit to travel through Ha Giang?
Yes — a Border Area Permit is legally required for all international travelers. HagiangTrips arranges this for you in advance, completely free. Just send a clear passport photo via WhatsApp to +84 904 044 772 after booking.
What happens to my large luggage on the Loop?
Leave big bags at HagiangTrips Hotel — free of charge. We recommend a 20–30L daypack with essentials for the 3-day ride.
Is it safe? What if it rains?
Safety is our highest priority. We provide full-body raincoats and waterproof bags. If HagiangTrips must cancel due to severe weather or landslides, you receive a free date change or a 100% refund. Travel insurance up to 100,000,000 VND is included in every booking.
What are the deposit and payment terms?
A 30% deposit secures your booking. Pay via OnePay (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, JCB) or bank transfer — we cover all transaction fees. The balance is due on arrival by cash, card, or transfer.
Can you accommodate dietary requirements?
Absolutely. We cater to vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets. Let us know your requirements when booking so our team and homestays can prepare accordingly.
