It all begins here!
Km No. 0
Perhaps few people know that KM No. 0 is not only a geographical position on Ha Giang’s map but also a very historical and meaningful place. It could be said to be an official starting point of the famous Happiness Road since it was set up in the late 1950s, the beginning point for all roads in Ha Giang. Thousands of workers and soldiers aided construction under this grueling condition, braving the terrible weather and hazardous terrain in their endeavor to connect the most remote mountainous regions of Ha Giang to the rest of Vietnam. These days, one can find KM No. 0 not only a historical site but also the beginning point of the Ha Giang Adventure Loop Tours.
More than a marker, KM No. 0 stands as a testimony to courage, perseverance, and being united. Happiness Road stretched beyond 200 kilometers, no less than a jack in the box a demonstration, indeed, of the indomitable spirit of the Vietnamese. Standing at KM No. 0, you are about not so much to embark on a physical journey as to step into a story of resilience and determination that shaped the future of this region. This landmark is a tribute to those who sacrificed to open up these remote lands to the world.
To the native inhabitants, as well as other types of travelers, KM No. 0 is emotionally and culturally attached. For the people of Ha Giang, this should be the beginning of progress and opening their homeland to the rest of the world. Tourists are allowed to get to know new beauties of Vietnam’s northern highlands on the Ha Giang Adventure Loop Tours. Every step away from KM No. 0 is so imbued with the spirit of exploration, not a starting point but a transformation that will go well beyond the journey in itself.

Timing is of the essence in making the most of traveling to Ha Giang. The best season to visit would be during autumn and spring. In the autumn, it is covered with golden rice terraces, while buckwheat flowers or Tam Giác Mạch spread out with shades of pink and purple hues. Meanwhile, in spring, it will be richer in green and colorfully painted with flowers; thus, the scenery will be impressively massive. Both seasons include a gentle climate with clear skies, perfectly suitable for the impressive exploration of the Ha Giang Adventure Loop Tours.
Packing smart will make for a comfortable journey. As the temperature can be quite different during any part of the day, it is best to bring clothes that can be layered on. Bring a light jacket, a breathable shirt, and good quality shoes with which one can do some trekking. A hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a small backpack in case one wants to take day trips are not to be forgotten. Also, it is advisable to take a raincoat along because mountain weather can be pretty unpredictable. A camera is necessary to capture the breathtaking scenery that one will encounter on the Ha Giang Tours.
The Ha Giang Adventure Loop Tour is well rewarded; however, it has also particularly required you to invest some physical effort. Always bring a water bottle with you and drink regularly to rehydrate your body, especially on days when you will be hiking or driving for a long time. Some travelers may be affected by the altitude in Ha Giang, so on the first day take it easy and acclimatize yourself with this. If you have any concerns about your health, kindly notify your guide well in advance. A reasonable level of fitness is recommended for the more challenging hikes and exploring Ha Giang’s rugged landscape.
During a visit to Ha Giang, it is of paramount importance that one respects the local culture and the environment. It has several ethnic minorities inhabiting the area, but the prominent ones are H’mong, Tay, and Dao. One should always respect their culture and always ask for permission before taking a shot at the people. Contribute to the local economy by buying local souvenirs and having meals in local restaurants. Also avoid waste by using a refillable water bottle and impact on the natural, pristine landscape of the Ha Giang Adventure Loop Tours.
