Packages Tour Ha Giang - Sapa 6 Days 5 Nights

This 6 days 5 nights adventure journey rides the legendary Ha Giang Loop — Vietnam's most dramatic mountain road, roughly 300 km north of Hanoi on the Chinese border. The route links Quan Ba Heaven Gate, Dong Van Old Town, Ma Pi Leng Pass, Nho Que River, Meo Vac, Hoang Su Phi, Sapa and Fansipan across the Dong Van Karst Plateau UNESCO Global Geopark, a landscape of stone forests, deep canyons and switchback passes.

You travel with a small group (max 10 travellers) with an English-speaking guide, so the timing stays flexible. Pickup, pace and stops are shaped around your group rather than a rigid coach timetable, and the route favours quieter viewpoints and villages over the busiest stops.

Why this route works

The Dong Van Karst Plateau rises to over 1,600 m, where Hmong, Dao, Tay, Lo Lo and Giay communities farm corn between the rocks. The loop's signature is Ma Pi Leng — the 'King of Passes' — carved high above the turquoise Nho Que River and the Tu San Canyon, the deepest in Southeast Asia. Spread across 6 days 5 nights, the itinerary has time to ride the passes slowly, catch the plateau at dawn and reach remoter villages without rushing.

What you will experience

• The grand north-west tour — Ha Giang Loop, Hoang Su Phi and Sapa at full length
• Ma Pi Leng Pass and a Nho Que River boat
• Two nights to enjoy Sapa, including the Fansipan cable car
• Six relaxed days, no rushing between icons

Who is this tour for

Best suited to travellers who want raw mountain scenery and ethnic-minority culture at the roof of Vietnam — couples, photographers, active families and curious independent travellers. Riding days are long and roads are winding; a basic level of fitness and comfort with mountain travel are recommended. The multi-day format suits those who would rather settle into the rhythm of the mountains than tick boxes.

• Limousine bus and private car throughout
• 5 nights hotel/homestay accommodation
• All meals as per itinerary
• English-speaking guide

• All entrance fees and permits

Good to know

Ha Giang is at its best in September–November (golden rice harvest and clear skies) and again from late February to April (plum and buckwheat blossom); summer months can bring heavy rain and landslides. Pack warm layers — the plateau is markedly cooler than Hanoi and nights can be cold. Mountain roads, boat trips and trekking are weather dependent and may be modified for safety. From 450 per person, the experience is reconfirmed by date and group size at booking.
