THE KARST GEOPARK
HG01 | 04 Days | Private Tour | All Year Around | Can be tailored to suite your requirements
This Dong Van Karst Geopark tour showcases the region's highlights as you traverse its main roads, ensuring you don't miss key destinations in this province. It's a road trip-style tour, where you'll spend most of your time driving from one place to another. However, rest assured that we've carefully curated the itinerary to provide enjoyable stops along the way, so you won't find the journey tiring while experiencing all the tour activities.
Just to give you an idea, when driving on the mountain roads, the average speed typically ranges from 35 to 40 km per hour. Please note that this speed doesn't account for stops made for photo opportunities. Here's a rough estimate of the distances between destinations:
Hanoi - 300 km - Ha Giang City - 150 km - Dong Van Town - 150 km - Ha Giang City Town - 300 km - Hanoi
Accommodation is expected to be basic but the top of the areas will be used for your best confort possible or customized to your preferences. Food is very local, too. There is no western food to expect except bread, fried eggs for breakfast at some places. Meals are at local food restaurants, but we always choose the most acceptable one.
