HA GIANG LOOP TOUR | RIDING ACROSS MOUNTAINS OF #VIETNAM
Hello, Namaste. Welcome to this new video. My name is Garima. I make videos related to travelling.
I am on my Southeast Asia trip now. And I am finally in Vietnam. So, right now, guys, you can see, I am in the mountain region of Vietnam. And we have come here to eat some food and start the trip. So, before we start this video, before we start this video, let me explain about this place because it can be a little bit confusing, but it's a very famous place. So, guys, I am in the Ha giang Loop area.
So, this is a round route, as you can see on the map, there is a loop on the mountain road which mostly travels cover on a tourist bike or is booked in a group tour car. But I am touring by bus. So, welcome to the Ha Giang Loop tour. And this is the last point.
for tourist. And this is one of the main points. Because people exit from here and go back to Ha Giang. But I came from Cao Bang. So, it's like my entry point, not the exit point.
So, welcome to Don Vang, guys. This town name is Don Vang. And I came here by bus.
But then I rented this bike. And in Bagan, 2 rent an e-bike was so cheap, guys. I miss Myanmar. And here it's expensive. Actually, I am paying with And 200,000.
So, in dollar, I don't know, but it's more than 6 dollars, I think. And here is my food. So, I got this. It's a noodle soup, vegetarian. And it's good. So, let's start this video.
She is also vegetarian. Mama, are you vegan? I am vegan. Yeah? Okay, nice. Wow.
It's very rare to find someone vegetarian or vegan in Vietnam. But she is. Yes. He is vegan.
Vegan? Vegan. Oh! Your kid is also vegan. Vegan. Yeah, too vegan.
Hey, good. Nice. Thank you. Even a small child is vegan in Vietnam.
It's amazing. So, it's a rare sight to see in Vietnam or in these Asian countries, actually. I am filming a video on the road of the mountains. Oh, my God.
And I haven't been driving like this for many years. Look at the scenery. It's so beautiful. It's amazing.
And it feels like Java, Indonesia the village I went. Absolutely. I will show you the mountain farming in a while.
I will show you. People are farming. So, we have parked the bike here. And... I can see a view of the village from here. So, I decided to stop.
This is a Don Vang town. It's the last one. The town I told you about for tourists.
And... Do you know what happens here? In the evening, tourists ride the bike. And... They leave in the morning.
So, this time, the rush of tourists is very less. But in the evening, they start coming at 5-6 pm. So, it's like one day stop.
Or maximum two days. So, yeah, that's it. But, look at this. This is the town down here. Where we stopped, it's on the other side.
The next town. So, beautiful views of the mountain. And... Even though it's high in tourism, But... There are good vibes.
You can do some bike ride. For one day or two days. Nice. And while riding, I was telling That I feel vibes of Indonesia. So...
In Indonesia, in Jakarta, in Java Island, I went a little far from Jakarta, in a village. There was this type of vibe. So, yeah.
Today, we took the bike rent. And in these countries, It's good to have a group or a couple. Because if there are two people, The price is shared.
And then it's very cheap. To travel here. If I am one person, then I am just paying. Like for two people and like so much money. If there are two people, The price will be divided into 400-400 rupees. But...
If there is one person, then I will have to pay $10 directly. But anyways, Solo is YOLO. Whatever happens It's fun to ride alone. So, yeah. And I hope you guys are enjoying this video. I am trying to make this vlog actually long.
So... It's a request. Make sure to watch till the end.
It means a lot. And let's go to the view point. So, we are about 5 kilometers away. Oh my God! the kid ran away from me? Oh my God! He is running so fast. All three of them. Oh my God! So, what did I say? I think we are 5 kilometers away from the view point.
And... But... We have seen a very interesting thing on the way. Local, traditional village. So... Because I am not going into the village.
I will show you in a minute. So, you guys watch this. The view. It's so beautiful.
And... This house is a bit modern. But look at that side.
Those are traditional houses. Mountain lifestyle of Vietnam. And it's really quite amazing.
And... The mountains of this type. They are actually reminding me of Timor, Leste and Angola. I have seen some views of this type over there. And look here. They are farming.
So... On the mountain. And this side too. So, nice. They are farming too. And traditionally...
They are continuing their lifestyle. So, I thought I will show you this view. So, I stopped for a minute on the way. So, yeah. We have stopped at another view point area.
And here you can see the statue being made. And... Look at this.
It's not written in the description. Who are these people? But... The story is here. I will tell you the story in a minute. So...
Look at this. They are taking pictures first. These are the traditional people here. You can see their costumes. And...
They are Tay people. This is their name. And... In this, it is written that... When this road was being built...
The loop... On which we are travelling... How many people worked in it. And how many people were sacrificed. Almost... 14 youth volunteers were sacrificed.
So, I don't know why they were sacrificed actually. But, it is not written that... Which officer did the work or what happened. It is written that... People worked here. Tribal people were here.
And 14 people were sacrificed. So, there is no more information in it. Only this thing is made a view point area. So, I stopped for a minute. And...
This is a cafe here. So, we have finally reached the view point. And... You can see it.
It is very beautiful. And... They have made a dam in front of this river. And actually, I came through this road yesterday.
We covered this whole road. You can see the loop. And... This is the river. And...
Look at this. There is a village on the hill. And...
There is another village. You can see it from the side. It is made from the bottom. I will go down and show you the view.
And... Everything is nice. Do you know how I feel? I am doing tourist activities like the foreigners mostly Muzungu. Their travelling style.
Every day they get up. And they see the map. And...
In that... In this place... This...
This... And not just Muzungu. Modern Indians who travel. Also in this way. But the travelling in India in the olden days... Was more of a local lifestyle experience.
Which Guru Nanak Dev Ji did. And a lot of great people who have travelled. They used to enjoy walking.
But today it is a modern tourism. I think I am doing that today. Viewpoint tick. This tick.
Village life tick. So... I feel like that. But... Nice. And if you Google Ha Gang...
You will see a lot of photos of this area. And this is the famous area. So...
Everything is great. Nice views. Look behind So if you coming Vietnam I think it will be interesting to take a bike tour. To Ha Giang.
This place is very close to Hanoi. And... Pretty nice.
Your 2-3 days will be a little adventure. Tourist type. How will you go. And...
Amazing. And... I think if you are coming with family...
You can do this adventure too... Because in family... Dad knows how to drive.
And brothers also know. So I think it is even good for family. And... The most famous place I am going to skip... Ha Long Bay I am going to skip that. So maybe I am not going there.
You can also find the same location in New Zealand... Or in Papua New Guniea. So I think I will finish that kind of place in Papua New Genie... One day. But not in Vietnam.
If I ever meet my husband or boyfriend... Then I will go here too. But now I don't feel like going there alone.
So nice. Very nice. And... If you liked the video... Like, share and subscribe. And comment too.
And can bike rent anywhere... You don't have any problems. It is available in every town.
Per day's price is almost... 200K for Vietnam. 200...
2 lakh rupees. For Vietnam. And the lifestyle of the same village... Farming...
All this. And... Now we are going to the Scooty.
To a cultural village. And... The way I see the location in the map... I think it is again for tourists.
So... Let's go and see. It is near. Because it is not too far. So...
I have been in Vietnam for a long time. I have seen one thing of Bamboo. Let me show you. This is a traditional hookah. They smoke it.
Yes. Vietnam. Okay. Bamboo. Yes.
