Day 1: Hanoi - Ha Giang (300km)
7.30am:Our guide and car will pick you up at your hotel or at Sinh Adventure Office at 98 Ma May. We set off our trip. We will drive through Thai Nguyen city,and a break at the Museum of Ethnology. This is an important stop as we will be visiting many of Vietnam's ethnic minorities and hill tribe people. Take some extra time to learn about the Dao,Hmong,Muong,Thai,and Bo Y minorities. To continue,we will head North to Tuyen Quang province,visit the historic Tan Trao area then on to Ha Giang. We should arrive in Ha Giang at about 5:00 pm. Dinner and sleep in town.
Day 2: Ha Giang - Quan Ba (50km)
This will be a short drive but one that will set the tone for the next eight days. The adventure begins as soon as we leave town and enter a land of colorful mountain hill tribes and seemingly impossible landscapes. All around you limestone rock faces will rise straight up perpendicular to the valley bellow and hill tribe people will be smiling and waving you onward.
We will pass Heaven's Gate pass,then on to Quan Ba town for lunch.Afternoon we have some drive with some stops to walk through some nearby ethnic villages. We will return to Quan Ba town for dinner and to retire for the night.
Day 3: Quan Ba - Yen Minh- Meo Vac (100 km)
Have breakfast then hit the road,camera ready! All of our guides will have to agree that this is one of the most beautiful places in Vietnam. The "mother nature will never get enough credit" scenery and the "I cannot believe that that is actually the road" routes will absolutely and positively astound you! There will be ample opportunity to see the ethnic minorities and even visit their traditional homes. We will stop in Yen Minh town for lunch and then continue on our journey drive to a nearby pass and then descending into the Meo Vac valley,very close to the Chinese border,for dinner and an overnight.
Day 4: Meo Vac - Dong Van (50km)
After breakfast,we will first take some time to drive over the Ma Pi Leng Pass. Here is yet another amazing place,with incredible mountain ranges and the Nho Que river winding off in the distance. We will continue to zigzag our way to Dong Van,visiting remote areas and the hard working local people here. It is inspiring to see how they survive as they manage their environment. When we reach town we will have some extra time to wonder the ancient streets lined with Hmong homes of clay bricks and tiles roofs built centuries ago...Dinner and sleep here.
Day 5:Dong Van - Yen Minh - Quan Ba (100km)
At a leisurely pace we will drive on from Dong Van to Quan Ba. Today we will visit the infamous Vuong Palace,where a Hmong family of high rank lived during French colonial rule. This palace attracts keen interest from architecturally minded visitors due to it is mixed style of European and Chinese architecture. We then come back on the car and back to Quan Ba for our overnight. Note:Quan Ba Sunday market is worth an arrangement!
Day 6: Quan Ba - Ha Giang - Hoang Sun Phi (120km)
Today we will double back to Ha Giang then depart for Bac Quang. The drive is a pleasant one with countless meandering turns and winding sections on our way to Hoang Sun Phi. This is your trip and we encourage you to stop as many times as you wish to meet local people or to take those once in a lifetime photographs. We will arrive in the town of Hoang Sun Phi at about 4:00 pm for dinner and sleep.
Day 7: Xin Man - Bac Ha (160km)
Today's dive is longer than yesterday's via Xin Man and the area's tortuous roadways. More picturesque countryside and landscapes,as well as meeting and talking with local ethnic families. The second half of this drive is much easier but one will have to be careful not to get lost in the dense woods. Arrive in the town of Bac Ha (Lao Cai) at about 5:00 pm,dinner and sleep in town.
Day 8: Bac Ha
The morning will provide free time for you to explore Bac Ha. This is a small town built on a desolated highland plain North West of Lao Cai. It is well-known for it's century-old colorful hill tribe market of the Flower Hmong (on Sunday only). All meals served in town and sleep at the same hotel.
