Tour Overview
The 5 Day/4 Night Cao Bang Loop tour combines the best of the Ha Giang Loop with the extension of the Cao Bang province. Ride on the back of a motorbike, driven by a local Easy Rider, in a small group of 3-5 people. During the first two days on the Ha Giang Loop you will learn about traditional clothes weaving from the local H’mong people, conquer Ma Pi Leng Pass, float down Nho Que River on a boat excursion, experience the picturesque Tham Ma Pass, drive through Heaven’s Gate, climb the iconic Lung Cu Flag Tower, and take in the scenic views from Can Ty Pass.
The adventure gets better with every day as you move towards the Cao Bang province and experience the 14-turn pass of Khau Coc Cha, the Karl Marx Mountain, Lenin Spring & Rice Fields, and explore farmland homestays. Enjoy activities and excursions such as visiting Ban Gioc Waterfall (the largest in Asia), Co La Waterfall, Nguom Ngao Cave, Khuoi Ky Stone Village and Angel’s Eye Mountain.
Please note: this tour begins in Ha Giang and ends in Cao Bang. Both your arrival and departure buses from Hanoi are included in the tour price. If you have large luggage, it will be securely stored at the hotel in Ha Giang for the duration of your trip, at which time it will be shipped from Ha Giang to Hanoi and meet you upon your arrival.
