Tour description
Ha Giang is the gateway to Vietnam's most spectacular scenery, a frontier town on a river surrounded by dramatic karst mountains near the Chinese border, and home to a rich mix of ethnic minority cultures. On this walking tour a local guide reveals the town and its highland spirit.
You will wander the riverside town, explore the colourful market, and hear about the Hmong, Tay and other peoples and the famous Dong Van karst plateau. Along the way you will take in the mountain setting. Scenic and authentic, Ha Giang is a rewarding town to explore on foot.
