Trekking Northest Vietnam: Ba Be Lake - Ban Gioc Waterfall - Ha Giang Loop

Start & end in Hanoi 7 days Up to 15

About this trip

Seven days through the far northeast of Vietnam, a part of the country most visitors never reach. You trek through Ba Be National Park, cross the border region to see Ban Gioc Waterfall, and take in the karst plateau of Ha Giang.

The route mixes walking with time in the landscape itself — lake, caves, valleys, waterfalls — and brings you into contact with ethnic minority communities living in these frontier areas.

This is a private, fully guided trip, so the pace and stops can flex around your group, including families.

What you'll do

  • Trek through Ba Be National Park's forest, valley and cave landscape
  • Boat or walk around Ba Be Lake
  • See Ban Gioc Waterfall, on the border with China and among the largest in the country
  • Cross the karst plateau of the Ha Giang Geopark
  • Visit ethnic minority villages in the border region
Good to know
  • Private and fully guided, so suits families or groups wanting their own schedule
  • Trekking-based, expect several days of walking across varied terrain
  • Covers remote border areas, so distances between stops can be long
