Ha Giang
Once you arrive in Ha Giang City, rent a motorbike (rental fee included in the experience price) and go on a trip and motorbike briefing before you set off to Nam Dam village. You will be accompanied by a local Vietnamese guide who will show you the way. The 45km drive is stunning, passing through traditional villages, beautiful valleys, and climbing mountains. Along the journey, make plenty of stops to take pictures and give your bum a rest. :) Among the stops you make is the Fairy Bosom hills in Quan Ba and a geopark recognized by UNESCO. Spend the night in Nam Dam village with a host family. You will have the afternoon and evening to explore the village, go for a hike, help our host family prepare dinner, or just relax. Dinner includes local rice or corn wine, also called "happy water."

In the afternoon, ride about 50km toward the Vietnam–China border to visit the Extreme North Point, a favorite highlight for many guests.
