So you're looking for fun? Do you have a heart for adventure and a body that can withstand more than a ride to Winmart but STILL want to live to regale your grandchildren with your adventures? Then you may be ready to tackle the Ha Giang Loop with us. This is not for the faint-hearted, but if you've got what it takes, then you will earn stories that will amaze even the most ardent couch potato. Stories of riding through mountain passes and towering limestone cliffs, standing atop mountains like a Greek God, visiting authentic local villages, drinking local "happy water" with your fellow bikers at the end of each day, and much, much more. It is the ride of a lifetime and the perfect way to "dip your toe in the water" of this fabulous area. The scenery is impeccable. The people wonderful. And the motorbikes freshly maintained. The only question to ask yourself is: "can you handle it?"
