I really like YESD’s working spirit when they care of the local communities, educate local people how to protect the environment or give local guides some medical and professional training courses.

    I was used to be a disoriented boy and felt lost in my future career. Until I met V4D non-profit organization where I learnt English and then YESD where I could use my English to work as an English tour guide. Now I have a small family with a little boy and I love my job so much. This job gives me income that is not stable but not so bad. It shows my passion on tourism and pride of my ethnic cultures.

    Ha Chiang loop for an old boy

    Well what can I say about my Ha Chiang loop trip I did with Yesd. They were excellent from start to finish. As a 54 year old man I did the loop solo with my driver Chinh as I wanted to avoid the happy water and karaoke aspect. Chinh understood this perfectly and took me on a fabulous trip. We took local routes when he could, avoiding some of main routes. He kept ahead of the ‘Mongolian army’ as he called the throngs of other loopers and often arrived at view points before they arrived …

    #YESD FAQs

    Ha Giang Loop 4 Days Motorbike Adventure FAQs

    Can a solo traveler book this tour?

    Yes. Solo travelers can book this private Ha Giang Loop motorbike tour.

    How many days should I spend on the Ha Giang Loop?

    The most common option is usually 3 days and 3 nights, but this 4-day, 4-night route is better if you have more time and prefer a slower pace. Only consider the 2-day option if your time is very limited, because it requires long hours on the motorbike.

    I cannot ride a motorbike. Can I still join?

    Yes. You can sit on the back of the motorbike while your local guide rides, so you can enjoy the scenery without driving yourself.

    Can I ride my own motorbike?

    Yes, if you have an international driving license accepted in Vietnam. If not, YESD recommends going with a guide because Ha Giang roads are steep, winding, and regularly checked by police.

    When is the best time to visit Ha Giang?

    Ha Giang is beautiful all year. For mild weather, October to November or March to May are often recommended. If you want to see yellow rice terraces, mid-September to early October is usually best when combined with Hoang Su Phi trekking.

    Can I skip places I am not interested in?

    Yes. Since this is a private tour, YESD can customize the route based on your interests and pace where possible.

    Does the standard itinerary include the Nho Que boat ride?

    The standard itinerary does not include the Nho Que boat ride, but you can ask YESD to add it if you want.

    Are towels and toiletries provided?

    Yes. Clean towels and toiletries are provided in all accommodations, though you may bring your own if you prefer.

    Can vegetarian or vegan meals be arranged?

    Yes. YESD can cater to different dietary needs. Share your requirements before the tour so the guide and homestay hosts can prepare suitable meals.
