Vietnam’s Ha Giang Loop – level 1

15-04-2026 07:00

The Ha Giang Loop is a famous road trip in the mountains of northern Vietnam. It is 350km long. It has beautiful views.

Many people travel on the back of a motorbike with a local driver. But these roads can be very dangerous. They are high and busy. Not long ago, a young traveler from London dies in a crash there. If you want to go, you must be careful. Some companies are better and safer than others. They give you good helmets. Do not drive a bike if you do not know how to do it.

Always tell your driver to go slowly if you feel worried. It is a great trip, but it is important to stay safe.

Difficult words: local (not a tourist), careful (when you think about what you are doing and you keep safe), helmet (a hard hat which keeps you safe on a bike or motorbike).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What safety equipment do some companies provide to travelers on the Ha Giang Loop?
