→ 12:00 – 12:30 PM First lunch at our restaurant. Fresh local food and a varied menu will delight your taste buds. You can also have beer if you ride behind our easy rider.

 After lunch, explore a traditional village famous for hand-woven linen products. Observe the exquisite weaving process, interact with local artisans, and buy authentic handicrafts as souvenirs.• Admire the panoramic view of the lush Đông Hà valley and the majestic opposite mountain range from a viewpoint high on the mountainside, with the river sparkling in golden sunlight winding through the endless green valley. The scenery here on sunny days or cloudy days will leave you speechless – it’s like a painting, as if created by a drunk Claude Monet. Yes, I’m not exaggerating and I don’t want to take back my praise!

Still on quiet mountain-top local roads, crossing altitudes of 1,700 m – true to our name: beyond the horizon. And what’s more satisfying than admiring heavenly light pouring down on majestic mountains and rivers while leisurely looking down at the crowded convoys squeezing each other on the big road below, which has no impressive scenery except the noise of horns and engines. This place feels reserved just for us!

A super epic viewpoint with dramatic mountain ranges on both sides and a narrow valley in between. You don’t realize you’re very close to the highest peak of the Ha Giang Loop at 2,200 m. It can be seen from dozens of kilometers away on clear days from many parts of the loop. And 100% of travel companies in Hà Giang don’t know about it; you won’t find any info on Vietnamese travel websites either.

The valley below we call “420 ROAD”. You get it, right? You know what you know, bro! This was once the H’mong kingdom in the 18th century, even before the H’mong kingdoms in Đồng Văn and Mèo Vạc. Cross it and breathe the “fresh, pure” air!

Highlight of the day: Lũng Hồ mountain sunset viewpoint!
→ A natural landscape with grasslands, terraced fields, rocky mountains and winding small roads.

Watch the sun slowly set over the jagged peaks like dinosaur teeth in Lũng Hồ valley. From here, looking down at the overlapping mountain ranges in the sunset, you will fully feel the answer to the meaning of travel: discovering new lands and enjoying the beauty of the existential world at the moment day and night meet somewhere on this planet.

Entering Du Già area, where the mountains have bizarre shapes like on another planet. You heard right – not only Karakoram, Alaska or Patagonia have strange peaks; the Ha Giang Loop also reveals “alien traces” right before your eyes.

05:00 PM Check – in Homestay in Du Già with a pool overlooking rice fields and sunset over the mountain range.

07:00 PM: Warm dinner with special organic local food; raise a glass of happy water with new friends. Karaoke and dancing time – the place to release fatigue after a long day on the motorbike. Don’t hesitate, be yourself: a person who loves Hà Giang and has come to this land.

• 12:30 PM: Hearty lunch at a large restaurant in Mậu Duệ – if you’re sleepy, order a Vietnamese-style coffee bean with condensed milk to recharge for the million-dollar afternoon!

• Conquer Cán Tỷ Pass – a pass only about 20 km long but one of the most winding national roads in Vietnam, with countless hairpin turns and “divine” viewpoints at the sky gate.
  With major Ha Giang Loop passes like Cán Tỷ, if lucky, you will witness a magical weather phenomenon: the sky gate like a clear boundary, one side thick fog, wet and cold, while the other side bright golden sunshine, making the grass and trees burst with life in warmth.
• Ride along the lush green river lazily flowing through the valley. Flat road, almost no traffic, both sides grass carpets, fields, sugarcane fields, and prehistoric-colored riverbanks. Gentle afternoon sun mixed with river breeze blowing your hair – what could be better to shake off fatigue after 2 days of all terrains and emotions on Ha Giang Loop?
• In the middle of old-growth forest, a large waterfall pouring down from the cliff creating a wide, cool pool. Stop, chill a bit, relax your body – the divine Ha Giang Loop journey with Horizon is about to end!
• Jagged sawtooth mountain range rising majestically in afternoon sun, mixed with thin mist and the winding river far away. Even as the trip nears its end, Hà Giang still holds you back with epic scenes reminiscent of the world in The Lord of the Ring
• 05:30 PM Complete the Crazy & Unforgettable Journey in Hà Giang City. Free shower & towel before boarding your bus to the next destination, guys.

• If you chose the package including drop-off to Hanoi/Ninh Bình/Ha Long/Cat Ba/Sapa, the bus will pick you up from here between 05:00 PM – 10:00 PM. The bus arrives in those cities early the next morning.
• From Hà Giang to Hanoi and Sapa, there are both Limousine and Cabin buses departing early in the morning.

“Alright guys, our crew has completed the Ha Giang Loop safely and full of joy!
We’ve survived successfully!
Safety first, just like we always boast about our risk control skills rivaling Durex! You guys have experienced it firsthand!

I’m sure you’ve taken hundreds of amazing photos from this unforgettable trip. We feel so happy because despite limited time, you still chose to come hang out with Horizon. We’re family, a real gang!

So what are you waiting for? Go give our drivers a big, warm hug to thank them for their dedication and hard work throughout the journey! Let’s say goodbye to the new friends and local friends who accompanied us through 2 epic days, through white clouds, pale sunlight, precarious on mountain peaks, immersing in pure cool streams. Give each other tight hugs and raise a glass of happy water, guys!

Never forget us like the way you forget your ex-girlfriend! Don’t cry for me, Argentina! We will meet again on some pirate-style treasure hunt adventure out on the distant Somali seas or the Atlantic Ocean, remember that!
Love you, my crew.”
