The Ha Giang Loop is a legendary mountain circuit in northern Vietnam. Covering approximately 300km, the loop winds through some of the most dramatic landscapes in Southeast Asia. The route passes limestone karst formations, sheer mountain passes, deep river valleys, and traditional villages near the Chinese border. The route is commonly done by motorcycle or bicycle, and has several variations, including optional out-and-back sections. The version we are adding as an FKT running route is a simple loop.
