Ha Giang Loop + Cao Bang – Ban Gioc Traverse (5 Days 4 Nights)

This is the fullest Classic journey we run: the entire Ha Giang plateau followed by the best of Cao Bang, ridden one-way so you never retrace your route. Private en-suite rooms throughout, an unhurried pace, and two provinces of Vietnam’s far north in a single continuous ride – ending at the spectacular Ban Gioc Waterfall on the Chinese border.
