Go off-grid: trek to epic viewpoints, kayak in the river, visit hidden villages
If you don't have time to do the full 3-day Ha Giang Loop, this 1-day trek is a great alternative. Trekking on foot means that you'll be able to go to places that even bikes don't reach - like the iconic God Cliff, which gives you an amazing panoramic view of Ha Giang.You'll head off the beaten path, to hike the rocky steps of the old Ma Pi Leng Pass. Pass limestone cliffs, cornfields and Hmong villages in the highlands where you'll get the chance to meet and chat with locals. If you're lucky, you might be able to sample some of their traditional snacks too.What makes this hiking trip extra special is that it includes a visit to the gorgeous Nho Que river. But instead of joining a crowded tourist boat like most travellers, you’ll get the rare chance to kayak on the river, often with no one else around.What to ExpectTrek through stunning mountain landscapes, discovering hidden paths and breathtaking views.Meet friendly locals and gain insights into their daily lives and traditions.Visit the iconic God cliff, marvelling at the panoramic vista of Ha Giang's majestic peaks.Kayak or swim in between majestic karts to Ma Lu villageSavour a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, enjoying the local flavours and ambiance.TipsWear comfortable hiking shoes and clothing, as the terrain can be rugged at times.Bring plenty of water and snacks to stay hydrated and energised during the trek.Respect local customs and traditions, and ask permission before taking photos of people.
