End of Ha Giang loop trip!!!
Schedule with Bicycle
The Ha Giang loop itinerary with bicycle is the same as with 50cc motorbike (above).
But you need more time, maybe 7 days to 10 days or more, depending on your health, endurance and your travel plan.
A Taiwanese guest rented my bicycle for 18 days and experienced many ethnic villages in the Ha Giang mountains.
So please plan your details from the itinerary I suggested above.
Note:
- 50cc motorbikes do not require an international driving license when driving in Vietnam.
- Because of the small displacement, a 50cc motorbike can only carry 1 person and luggage, and 2 people will not be able to climb the slope and will affect the operation of the machine. (Any damage caused by intentionally exceeding the number of people, the customer must bear all costs).
- 50cc motorbikes are semi-automatic motorbikes, with the same operating mechanism as automatic motorbikes but with gears, shifting gears is very important when going up and down slopes. We do not recommend using automatic motorbikes when going to Ha Giang loop because of safety when going on winding mountain passes.
- The rental price includes helmets, raincoats, and plastic bags for luggage (if it rains). Not included:
+ Gasoline (Ron 95)
+ Personal expenses
+ Personal travel insurance
3. Tour with local Easyriders
(For first time 50cc riders & for those in your group who can't ride a motorbike)
Ha Giang mountain area is one of the most beautiful mountain pa
sses in Northern Vietnam with many steep hills and winding passes, one side is a deep abyss, the other side is a cliff. Therefore, we do not recommend those who are not proficient in driving motorbikes, or have never driven a motorbike before to conquer Ha Giang route with a 50cc motorbike or any type of motorbike.
- If this is your first time riding a semi-automatic motorbike (even if you have ridden a motorbike before) and do not want to take risks. Please contact me in advance and I will create a Group for you (or your group) with a local Easyrider to take care of you on the way:
- You will still drive a 50cc motorbike yourself to conquer Ha Giang route;
- The local Easyrider will drive a private motorbike to support you in any incidents on the road. and can carry tourists who do not know how to drive a motorbike.
