Tam Son - In or around the small town of Tam Son we find our lunch.
Du Gia - Du Gia is an unknown quiet village in Ha Giang. This place is visited almost exclusively by travelers who do the Ha Giang loop in 4 days or more. The best thing about this place is the peaceful and unspoiled beauty with its majestic natural landscape of mountains and rice paddies around it. In addition, the local people here are exceptionally hospitable and friendly.
Du Gia - Meo Vac - Nho Que river - Ma Pi Leng homestay (150km)

Lastly, you will move up the majestic Ma Pi Leng mountain pass and check in our homestay. Free time to relax or walking around Old Hmong village to know more about local people’s life. Dinner and overnight at homestay. (Today includes Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner).
Ma Pi Leng Pass - The Ma Pi Leng pass is the most impressive mountain pass in Vietnam at an altitude of 1,500 meters. It is located between Dong Van and Meo Vac, two cities in the far north of Vietnam in Ha Giang province, close to the border with China. It is the most amazing mountain road in all of Vietnam. It lies along the asphalted national road 4C with the nickname “The Happiness Road”. The road was built in the 60s by a lot of workers, mainly ethnic minorities from the area. It took 11 years to finish the whole road. It is known as the King of Vietnamese mountain passes. There are cliffs and abysses almost everywhere along the route and enough hairpin bends to get dizzy. The road along the mountainside has a romantic, breathtaking landscape that is ideal for motorcycling. The road to the top, considered “the Great Wall of Vietnam”, feels like a scene from a fairy tale.
Ma Pi Leng - Dong Van - Lung Cu - Sa Phin - Yen Minh - Nam Dam Village (120km)
Dong Van - If we are waking up on a Sunday in Dong Van the weekly big local market meets you before or after a breakfast. More ethnic minority groups than you can count have travelled on Saturday or extremely early on Sunday to reach here. Really colorful and people from near and far to do their weekly shopping and gossiping. Thereafter, we go to the North Pole. Anyway, that is what the most northern point of Vietnam is jokingly called – Lung Cu. We can climb the Lung Cu Flagpole and view China from the top, then we turn to the south and when we reach Sa Phin to visit the one-hundred-year-old palace of Vuong Chinh Duc – the King of H’mong people. We go down the Highland of Stone and reach Yen Minh where we take lunch and then climb a mountain pass covered in pine forest and sweeping rice terraces along our drive. Down to the Song La valley until the road takes us towards the village of Nam Dam where we check in with a lovely Dao ethnic minority family in their home and enjoy dinner and breakfast
Lung Cu Flag Tower - The Lung Cu flag tower is a 33 meter high tower with a 54 square meter flag on the most northern point of Vietnam in the province of Ha Giang.
Yen Minh - A small town in northern Vietnam, Yen Minh often forms part of the trails followed by the many tourists who travel around the north east of the country.
Nam Dam - Lung Khuy cave - Tam Son - Ha Giang (70km)
Lung Khuy Cave - We enjoy village life after breakfast, walk around the village and might go up to the local waterfall. Then we go and explore the Lung Khuy cave. We take lunch in Tam Son after which we will explore a stunningly beautiful side-loop that connect us back to Road of Happiness and back to our base in Ha Giang city, where we will get on the bus back to Hanoi. Tour ends. (Today includes Breakfast, Lunch).
Tam Son - The town of Tam Son is the capital of Quan Ba, and is often the first stop travelers make in the district. The town, like most others in the province, is surrounded by karst mountains, two of which are known as the “Twin Mountains” and are closely tied to a local legend that we won’t spoil for you here, as hearing it for the first time as you watch the valley from atop the peak is a key part of the experience.
