Hey everyone and welcome back to our channel! If you're new here, our names are Rhea and Sam and together we quit our 9-5 jobs in London to travel the world!
Vietnam is one of the most incredible countries to travel, especially in 2024! In this episode, we are taking you on the ride of a lifetime through Vietnam's northernmost region - the Ha Giang loop! Renowned for being one of the most dangerous yet scenic drives in all of Vietnam, this 350km route takes you through winding mountain roads surrounded by jaw-dropping landscapes that look like they belong on the front of a postcard! Picture this: lush green valleys, terraced rice fields and towering limestone peaks; and the best part is this hidden gem is still relatively untouched by mass tourism. We opted to use an easy-rider to transport us through the region, and we couldn't recommend our tour company more. They ensured we were safe and comfortable at all times, and the accomodation in Ha Giang town is modern, clean with tasty food! Overall 10/10 - memories that will last a lifetime!
