Camping Ha Giang – Y Ty 4d3n

6:30 AM: Let’s hit the road to Y Ty. After passing through the Bản Khoang Valley, a perfect spot to stop for photos, or depending on whether you choose a bike or a motorbike, we can drop our bikes and explore the breathtaking landscapes unseen on TV. The deserted yet majestic road will leave you in awe, moving from one surprise to another. Keep your eyes wide open, and engage your mind fully to capture and savor the atmosphere and beauty of this place.

After an hour’s drive from Sapa, we’ll traverse through the ancient forest at an altitude of over 2,000 meters, covered in year-round mist, reaching Mường Hum. Here, you can purchase some food items like black chicken, corn, or sweet potatoes for a BBQ lunch.

Upon reaching the camping spot, whether near or far from Y Ty center, our guide and driver will prepare lunch for us. With the advantage of pickup trucks, you can explore Y Ty on motorbikes or bicycles, adding more experiences for your group or family, especially if you bring them from Hanoi.

You’ll travel by motorbike to Ngải Thầu Thượng, the ideal cloud-hunting spot in Y Ty on days with favorable weather conditions. Capture stunning images of the most beautiful terraced fields in Y Ty.

After lunch: Continuing the journey, the group will visit Choẻn Thèng Park, located at the end of the Hà Nhì ethnic village, featuring houses resembling giant mushrooms.

Stay overnight at a homestay and have dinner with the H’mong people in this area.

8:30 AM: Departure to continue exploring the border region between Vietnam and China. We arrive at milestone 92 for check-in and admire the sacred location where the Red River flows into Vietnam, a place of great significance to our homeland.

Next, we explore the Hekou border gate, the largest international border gate in Lao Cai with China, but we won’t be crossing into the neighboring country.

After leaving the city of Lao Cai, we have two routes to reach Bac Ha for lunch. Option 1 is to enter Coc Ly, then take a boat to explore the flowing river (depending on the season and water level). If we choose the boat option, we will have lunch at a local restaurant owned by the boat operators.

Option 2 is to head straight to Bac Ha and indulge in the famous local cuisine there.

After lunch, we continue our journey to Xin Man. Here, we have two choices:

1) bike or ride a motorcycle downhill to Coc Pai town, then rest at the hotel,

2) proceed directly to the hotel, park our vehicles, and hike uphill to the summit of Thao Nguyen Suoi Thau. We can bring camping gear and enjoy a BBQ dinner at this picturesque location.

Rest at the hotel.

At 8:30 AM, we’ll depart as usual to explore one of the highest peaks in Ha Giang, Chiêu Lầu Thi. Here, we can either cycle 12 kilometers from the main road and then continue hiking to the summit, or we can choose to go by motorbike. The mode of transportation will depend on the preference of the group, whether it’s motorcycles or bicycles right from the start.

Following that, we can have a BBQ lunch at the summit of Chiêu Lầu Thi or set up camp here to admire the enchanting beauty of the Northeast region.

In the evening, we will head back to Thông Nguyên at the Homestay on the mountain summit, offering a breathtaking view of the valley.

8h30: We continue to explore Hoang Su Phi valley and the National Monument of Hoang Su Phi terraced fields by motorbike or bicycle. This is one of the most beautiful valleys in Vietnam.
