The ideal time to visit Ha Giang during rice harvest season

If you want to breathe in the sweet scent of ripe rice and take photos with the golden fields, this is the best time to visit Ha Giang. After mid-October, the locals quickly harvest the rice, so don’t miss the moment when the fields are at their most beautiful.

Transportation to Ha Giang

Motorbike 

Ha Giang is about 300km from Hanoi, with treacherous roads that are narrow and winding along the mountains, with very few vehicles passing by. Many adventure enthusiasts choose motorbikes as their means to reach Ha Giang. However, the autumn weather in Ha Giang often brings rain, making the mountain roads difficult to traverse. If you’re not confident in your riding skills, it’s safer to opt for a bus. Alternatively, you might consider joining guided motorbike tours to receive support during your journey.

Bus

Starting from Hanoi, you can take a bus from My Dinh bus station on the Hanoi – Ha Giang route offered by various bus companies. The travel time is about 8 hours, so it’s recommended to take an overnight bus to sleep during the journey and arrive in Ha Giang by morning.
