Looking for input on rough plan for doing this route in February.
Planning fly into Hanoi on the 9th, take a bus to Ha Giang (yet to figure out the logistics with bike) do the loop in 6 days max. but leaving one day as buffer and flying out of Hanoi on the 18th.
I’ve seen lots of info and tours regarding the route on motorbike but I know some people have done it by bicycle and some parts of it just look a bit sketchy.
I’m not terribly experienced in multi day trips and am in regular shape.
Things I’d like to know more about:
* General road safety. Is it safe to ride?
* Is it possible/legal to camp anywhere near the route?
* Other considerations to take?
If anyone interested in joining me, I’m also open to that!

I did parts of it a few years ago. Can’t help you much but yeah the roads are safe , cars don’t really drive fast there, and 95% is in good condition. Food and drinks are easy to come by and I felt camping there was easy, although I stayed in guesthouses mostly. it has some nice climbs 😉 Have fun!
