About this route
The long drive back after the Loop. A private car lets you rest, keep your bags with you and stop when you need to.
Planning the day
- The road runs south on National Road 2 through Tuyen Quang, then on the expressway into Hanoi.
- Leave Ha Giang by about 8:00 to reach Hanoi in the afternoon, with a meal stop on the way.
- Finishing the Loop the evening before is easier than driving back on the same day.
- Ask your hotel in Ha Giang city about check-out time if you want to rest after the Loop and leave a little later.
After the Loop
- Return any rented motorbike and gear the evening before, so the morning is free for the drive.
- If you handed in your passport for a permit, make sure you have it back before you leave.
- Days on the Loop are tiring. Tell your driver if you would like a longer rest stop on the way.
Bus or car back to Hanoi?
| Sleeper bus | Buses leave Ha Giang city for Hanoi day and night at fixed times. They are the cheapest way for one or two people, but they stop on the way and night buses reach Hanoi in the early hours. |
|---|---|
| Private car | From your Ha Giang hotel to your Hanoi hotel or straight to Noi Bai Airport, leaving at your time, with room to rest and stretch after the Loop. |
Tired after the Loop or flying out soon? The car is easier to time. Travelling alone on a budget, the bus is fine.
