Best time of year to visit: We recommend spring, starting from March to May, and autumn, starting from September until November. These are great times for weather and scenery. You would enjoy mild temperatures with clear skies and lush landscapes. In spring, you will see vibrant flowers, while autumn brings about fantastic golden rice terraces.
Physical fitness considerations: This value based tour is for the most adventurous travelers who love sports and being outdoors.

If you are into hiking or biking, then this is your tour. The challenging yet rewarding paths of Ma Pi Leng Pass will give your heart an exciting race!
Safety precautions: Safety is paramount always. Manipulating the hairpin bends along Ma Pi Leng Pass is dangerous, and at the steep side of a cliff, caution has to be exercised carefully. Driving should be at moderate speed, while cyclists will have to be extremely careful about the curves. Those who participate in water activities, such as rowing in the Nho Que River, must follow all steps for safety and put on all their life jackets while doing so.
Recommended gear and clothing: To be fully prepared for the Little Ma Pi Leng Canyon trip, it is appropriate to wear accordingly for the landscape of the place. During the months of cool weather, one needs to put on warm layers; likewise, waterproof footwear, because the trails can be rocky and sometimes muddy during rain. One should not also forget sun protection, hats, and water to keep hydrated en route.
Respect for local customs: The highlight of a tour to Ha Giang is to get in contact with the locals, mostly attributed to the H’mong people. What is needed is respect for their culture and traditions. While visiting villages, remember the ways of life; never shoot photos without permission, and follow the instructions of your guide accordingly.
