Private Ha Giang tours by car: the Ha Giang loop, Ma Pi Leng pass, Dong Van and Hoang Su Phi rice terraces. 3 days from US$420, 8-day northern tours from US$1,120.
Allow four days for the Ha Giang loop (Quan Ba, Yen Minh, Dong Van, the Ma Pi Leng pass and Meo Vac), plus a day each way from Hanoi, which is about six to seven hours by road. For a gentler trip, three days in Hoang Su Phi gives you rice terraces and Dao villages with less driving.
We run Ha Giang by private car with a driver and a private English-speaking guide; guides in your language on request, not by motorbike. Our 3-day Hoang Su Phi tours are listed from US$420 per person, and our 8-day northern tour through Sapa, Ha Giang and Cao Bang from US$1,120 (2 travellers sharing; mountain hotels are simpler than in the cities).
From prices are those shown on each tour page on 26 October 2026: per person, based on 2 travellers (sharing a room in 4★ hotels on multi-day tours); international flights are not included. Your final price is confirmed in your tailor-made quote.
What to see in Ha Giang
Ma Pi Leng pass: the most dramatic road in Vietnam, high above the Nho Que river canyon.
Dong Van Karst Plateau: a UNESCO Global Geopark of limestone peaks, Hmong villages and the old market town of Dong Van.
Lung Cu flag tower: Vietnam’s northernmost point.
Hoang Su Phi: some of the most beautiful rice terraces in the country, with Dao and Nung villages and fewer visitors.
Weekly markets: Dong Van, Meo Vac and Yen Minh markets on Sundays bring the mountain communities together.
When to go and how to get there
September to November is the best time: rice harvest in Hoang Su Phi in September and early October, then pink buckwheat flowers on the Dong Van plateau in October and November. March and April are dry and clear; winter is cold, and summer rain can close mountain roads.
Ha Giang town is about 300 km north of Hanoi, six to seven hours by private car. Roads in the mountains are narrow with steep bends; we use experienced drivers and plan short driving days. Official information: Vietnam National Authority of Tourism – Ha Giang.
