8:30: After some breakfast, we go out on ‘Road of Happiness’ and start driving north out of Ha Giang City.

We climb up the Quan Ba mountain pass and enter the Dong Van Geopark and reach the Heaven’s Gate and pass the Fairy Hills.

In or around the small town of Tam Son we find our lunch.

Thereafter we venture deep into Ha Giang mountains and reach the picturesque village of Du Gia.

Here we will stay with an ethnic minority family at their homestay. We will have dinner and breakfast with the family. 

8:30: Get ready for new adventure.

We say thanks to the family of the homestay and head north, passing some of the most magnificent mountain passes you will ever have seen, pass the town of Meo Vac (where we take lunch) and move slowly up the majestic Ma Pi Leng mountain pass before reaching Dong Van, the most northern town in Vietnam.

If one is up to it we can climb up to the ruins of the French fort and get a stunning view of the towns and its surroundings.

Exploring the Old Quarter of Dong Van might be what others may enjoy after a long day on the bike.

Stay in local hotel in town.

We go down the Highland of Stone and reach Yen Minh where we take lunch and then climb a mountain pass covered in pine forest and sweeping rice terraces along our drive.

Down to the Song La river valley until the road takes us up to Tam Son, over the Quan Ba mountain pass and back to Ha Giang.
