    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 …

    A memory for life

    An amazing experience! Incredible guides! You almost feel privileged compared to other groups. The accommodation is top-notch; the house, the welcome, the meals—everything is perfect. The mountain trek is magical, the motorbike trek is insane (beware of sore bums by the end!), incredible views the whole time, and super enriching stories. It really puts things into perspective compared to our European comforts—it feels great! To conclude this review, thank you again to the entire YESD Travel team; they are truly wonderful people.

We like YESD’s mission of responsible tourism while supporting the local community and empowering locals with employment. A portion of the profits also directly go back to supporting the communities and local infrastructure.

    Q1. Is this a private or group tour?

    This tour is a private tour which will give you full flexibility to enjoy the way you want. Please be noted that we try to avoid the big crowd to bring you the most authentic experiences.

    Most of YESD’s tours are designed to be moderate. Normal, healthy people can participate. Usually children from 6 years old and older and older adults who regularly exercise can participate.

    Q4. What is the best season of the year to trek?

    From fall (September) to early summer (May) is the ideal time to trek because the weather is very nice. Summer time will be a bit difficult because of high humidity and heat. Please consult with our sales team on the dates you plan, we will give you the best advice.
