Highlands Tour 4D/3N
Highlands Tour
When people talk about the Ha Giang Loop, they often say the most northern part is their favorite. This tour focuses on exactly that, the highlands around Đồng Văn and Mèo Vạc, where the views are the most dramatic and the roads reach the highest points in Ha Giang.
You’ll spend the night in Đồng Văn, Mèo Vạc, and Du Già, giving you time to explore, relax, and really experience the best of the north.
