They told me I WOULDN’T make it… The Ha Giang Loop | Motorbiking Vietnam #5

- A 30 day trip motorbiking across Vietnam ended at the Ha Giang Loop. The hardest part of my journey was yet to come.
I had spent the last 20+ days riding through the south of Vietnam stopping at floating markets, beautiful landscapes, and homestays along the way. It was an incredible trip! But the biggest challenge was riding through the mountains in the north without breaking down or needing motorbike repairs.
Here are the different places I stopped at:
Ho Chi Man City
Can Tho
Phu Quoc
Buon Ma Thout
Kon Tum
Hoi An
Hai Van Pass
Dong Ha
Vinh
Ninh Binh
Ha Giang
Boa Lac
Hanoi

cool! very cool! This the coolest journey, especially story about lost backpack!
I did the ha giang loop recently on a Honda future with a tour, it was a seriously good experience but a little hairy in occasions. Bike held up perfectly through all of it.
I would be absolutely terrified to do it on that bike. Doing it with that guy was a wise choice.
I spent all of last month touring Vietnam and motorbiking in Hanoi, Danang, Nha Trang, Ho Chi Minh and Phu Quoc.
1. You could have rented a Honda Blade for $250 for the whole month and likely avoided all the hassle (although this would restrict your route. But Tigit has locations in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh).
2. Never mess with a Honda Win.
3. The worst that the cops would do is take $60-80 from you for not having an international driver's permit with bike endorsement. And they didn't fine you!
4. Always keep your passport on you.
5. You can get a gps tracker for about $15 on Amazon to put in your backpack.
Your videos make me want to go back!
Really enjoyed the series. You witnessed a lot of incredibly scenic country. I hope to visit there one day. Thanks for sharing!!
Nice series 👌 👏
Welcome to Vietnam!!!
Thank you!
Great stuff!! I'm so glad you found that backpack!! And thank you for doubling back so many times to get all those amazing shots of the Ha Giang Loop. So beautiful.
Thanks Dani!! It was incredible!
Great video, thanks for sharing
Loving the series! Feels like professional camera work, amazing how much work you put into this, and it shows!!
Thanks for the Vietnam series! I’m planning to do the same as you in the 2024 but only in 3 weeks limited time.
I suggest prioritizing the north! The south is nice but it’ll add a lot of time onto the trip. Enjoy and safe travels!
@@goodlifepursuer thanks! And Ha Giang loop is for sure! Safe travels!
ey ey, this is a fabulous video, love it !
Thank you!
Come on ! Lets start the journey...i am with you...i am the 56th subscriber....👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝🤝
Let’s do it!!
Damn man, what a great end to your series, was watching all the way through, keep up the great storytelling!
Thanks for watching it all the way through! Next series coming out is about trekking in Nepal!
Good stuff, I’ll be doing a similar trip, hiring an XR150 for 5 weeks. Wish me luck 😎
Having to find all your lost belongings is a stressful way to conclude your trip in Vietnam. I'm glad you didn't have too many issues beyond that. Can't wait to see what adventures you had in Nepal.
Thanks for following along in the adventure! See you next week!
great work
thanks for sharing your amazing travel, I'm looking info to do my own trip in vietnam and this video it's one the best that I have seen, so, thank you once again, see you on the way.
Have a great trip.
I will be there in November, Honda Wins are notorious. Honda Blade for me! I enjoyed the video.
Thank you and good luck!
oh mine... love this road trip saga. What an adventure. Love it.
Glad you enjoyed it! Vietnam is an amazing country.
Can’t believe you left your backpack on the side of the road 🤦🏻♂️
good content. I'm thinking about doing that full country ride solo, because all my friends have real jobs. If you wait for other people, you never do anything. Bravo to you.
Wow !!!
Campaign efforts
😍Great
What camera gear did you shoot with during the trip? Great storytelling!
I used the Canon m50 for most of the content and some occasional GoPro 8 clips. Cheers!
Wow 👍
I've viewed the whole series without any skip/fast forward with only 1 bad feeling:
It's too short. Why there're only 5 episodes
Thanks for watching! Don't worry I have a new series coming! I'll be filming in South America in the next 2 weeks.
An intriguing story but sure not wanting to misplace the bag again. If I were in your shoes, I would indeed be petrified and clueless of what to do next. Glad that you were able to get back your bag pack 🙌.
I'm eyeing on doing this Ha Giang loop too but wary about the weather as riding under the rainy season wouldn't be appreciable I guess. Did you ride Vietnam in the month of June?
You should definitely try to do the trip if you can. I went in September and it was perfect weather in the north, but the south was very rainy.
Thanks! Will give it a go when I have the opportunity to head to Vietnam. 👍

Have you got another channel? Just curious because you mentioned taking so much footage but actually show very little actual footage. No hate, just curious because i kinda got into your vlogs and wish there was more of the actual experience you had thats all. Really good content though i like the documentary type of videos. I look forward to watching your other series.
I don't have another channel for traveling but I did take a lot of other footage while in Vietnam. A lot of it I will be sharing in the future but it didn't fit very well with the story that I was telling. I'm still figuring out the best way to share stories so I appreciate the feedback. More to come!
Also side note: I lost all of my GoPro Footage while I was in Hanoi so that was about 30 hrs of footage gone which would have been awesome to see...
@goodlifepursuer all is good brother its just a positive comment, I enjoyed the series and would liked to have seen more of the experience itself that's all. 👌 fair play and safe travels 👏
Lesson No.1. Use a reliable bike.
Unfortunately this was the one in my budget range, otherwise great advice.
sir bike spare part in Vietnam are very cheap especially if you run to remote area all part are neither locally made or imported cheap mass produce from china it worth nothing no need worry it probably more cheap than your dinner bill when you in your country. seller and bike repair center wont sell anything expensive Vietnamese main customer are have low income they wont buy expensive stuff like european does.
Yes, I found the parts to be very cheap. Some of the more rural places didn't have all the parts I needed but if they did it wasn't very expensive.
For 3 days 2 night how much time is actually on the bike per segment?
I spent a lot of time exploring and taking pictures so I would usually be riding around from the morning until 5pm. But it’s usually only a couple hours of riding on the Ha Giang loop.
I had to give up on this video because the nauseating background music was in the foreground.
Good critique, I'll try to adjust that in the upcoming videos!
You thinks too much
