3. Exploring Dong Van – Experiencing the Unique Ha Giang Loop

Today is entirely dedicated to exploring Dong Van and Meo Vac. We’ll ride on lesser-known, secluded roads, away from tourist crowds, to fully immerse ourselves in the pristine beauty. In the afternoon, we’ll gaze at the Nho Que River from the majestic Ma Pi Leng Pass – an icon of Ha Giang tourism and the Ha Giang Loop – before returning to the hotel for a well-deserved rest. This is undoubtedly one of the highlights of this motorbike tour.

4. Dong Van – Pac Bo (160km) – Journey to Cao Bang

Today, our adventure takes us through the famous Khau Vai Love Market before we cross the Nho Que River by bamboo raft to reach Cao Bang. The approximately 40km long stone road here will be a significant challenge for riders but offers an authentic exploration experience. If you’re an experienced “rider,” we can choose to ride along the Nho Que River before reaching the bamboo raft crossing point. After lunch in Bao Lac, the afternoon is dedicated to conquering famous passes of Cao Bang tourism such as Khau Co Cha (Me Pja) and Na Tenh Pass along the China-Vietnam border patrol road.

Upon arriving at Non Nuoc Cao Bang – a UNESCO Global Geopark – you’ll be truly enchanted by the breathtaking yet challenging mountain passes. In the evening, after reaching Pac Bo and settling into the Me Farmstay resort, our group will take an electric car to swim in the crystal-clear Lenin Stream and explore the historic Pac Bo Cave.
