Northeast Vietnam Adventure: Hanoi, Ha Giang, Cao Bang & Ba Be
This 7-day trip focuses on northern and north-eastern Vietnam, with time in Hanoi, Ha Giang, Cao Bang and Ba Be. It brings together mountain roads, ethnic minority villages, limestone scenery and several of the region’s best-known natural sites. In Ha Giang, the route reaches the Dong Van Karst Plateau Geopark, a UNESCO-listed area known for its rocky landscapes and high passes. The journey also includes Ban Gioc Waterfall on the border with China, Nguom Ngao Cave and Ba Be National Park, where the trip includes a homestay stay and time on Ba Be Lake. This tour is suited to travellers who want a guided overland route through remote areas rather than a fast-moving city itinerary. Accommodation is arranged in Hanoi, Ha Giang, Cao Bang and Ba Be.
