A TRAVEL GUIDE FOR THE HA GIANG LOOP🇻🇳

A Travel guide for the Ha Giang Loop, Vietnam!🇻🇳 A few tips/things to make you aware of, to make your Ha Giang Loop trip easier: (this is specifically with Jasmine tours) - You leave your big backpacks in luggage storage at Jasmine Hostel in Ha Giang & take a small backpack with you for the entire trip (the small backpack is put in a plastic bag & strapped to the motorbike, travelling with you). - The home stays that you stay in around the Ha Giang Loop give you towels - so no need to pack a towel to take with you. - The only real expense, if you’re backpacking on a budget, is drinks. You’ll have to pay for any kind of drink; water, coffee, beer, etc. - We went during 30 degree weather, but at some points, it did still feel cold when driving - pack long trousers if you can (leggings are perfect) and also shorts. Definitely a rain coat. Closed toe shoes (trainers) are probably best - although most of the drivers are wearing sliders lol. - For helmets and padding, you leave a 200k deposit for a helmet & 200k deposit for padding (padding is your choice, but I highly recommend padding). - Pain killers are a good idea (your whole body achesss by day 3). - Tipping your drivers is usually between 300k - 500k (totally depending on your experience with your driver). - There aren’t many atms on the road or near Jasmine hostel, so make sure you bring enough money with you. #hagiang #thehagiangloop #hagiangloop #northvietnam #jasminehostels #jasminetours #jasminehagiangloop #nature #vietnambackpackers #vietnam #travel #backpacker #britishbackpacker #coupletravel #coupletravels #travelasia #exploreasia #asiatrip #goodforthesoul #backpacking #backpackingasia #backpackers #wanderlust #travelgram #travelblogger #travelguide #traveltips #travelitinerary #motorbiking
