About this tour

Ha Giang Dong Van Karst Plateau 3 days 2 nights

Duration: 3 Days 2 Nights  / Transport: Car 

Ha Giang is a land of impressive and diverse colors. The pastel pink of buckwheat flower fields, the season of yellow mustard flowers, plum blossoms, and ban flowers; the golden hue like poured honey on the terraced fields during the ripe rice season; the green of the majestic mountain ranges, of the famous winding Ma Pi Leng Pass alongside the poetic Nho Que River, covering the entire vast border region of the homeland. Hà Giang also carries the vibrant colors of traditional dresses, of an ethereal space filled with drifting clouds, the deep green of hills and winding roads… he beauty of simple daily life amidst the magnificent nature with the innocent eyes of children or the warm smiles of the people adds to the richness of the province.
