Choosing cycling the Ha Giang Loop instead of motorbike offers a unique, immersive way to explore Vietnam’s rugged Northeast, where dramatic limestone peaks, winding passes, and vibrant ethnic villages create a breathtaking backdrop. The Ha Giang Loop, a 250-350km circuit through the UNESCO-listed Dong Van Karst Plateau Geopark, is a bucket-list adventure traditionally tackled by motorbike, but cycling provides a slower, more intimate experience.
