   Ha Giang - 4D5N Trekking Nghia did a splendid job in arranging the program such that it is not monotonous - from trekking route right down to where we stay and the meals we had. A very passionate and accommodating guide who make sure we get the best experience out of the trip. Would recommend her service to everyone who wishes to explore the more scenic places North Vietnam has to offer :) See more..
   
2. 5.0 Mu Cang Chai (44 reviews)
   - Magnificient scenery and breathtaking beauty of Mu Cang Chai

   One of the best places I've ever been to in Vietnam. Mu Cang Chai is the best for experiencing terrace rice fields. I took a motorbike trip from Hanoi to Mu Cang Chai which is 300 kms. I drove 200 kms to reach a mountain town Nghia Lo and stayed overnight. It was an easy ride till Thanh Son (94 km) and then to Nghia Lo through the mountains. The road is quite good, just need to take the usual caution while riding on the mountain trails. There are some decent hotels to stay from 250000 vnd/night. The next day drove to Mu Cang Chai which 100kms and the ride was beautiful. Lots of beautiful views on the way. There is a 20km long mountain pass as well. The best time to visit Mu Cang Chai is last two weeks of September. I went a bit late and 80% of harvesting was done already. There are few hotels to stay at a decent price. I enjoyed the trip being solo. See more..

   The entire trip was really 10/10, I could not ask for a better host. Even though I travelled alone, they immediately made me feel welcomed. I would recommend the motorbike tour. They were also very transparent with the price which made me feel at ease :) See more..
   
4. 5.0 Tu Le Valley (12 reviews)
   - Beautiful Valley
   Valleys
   
   
   We took the long and windy road from Nhgia Lo to Mu Cang Chai enroute visiting the Tu Le valley. From the high mountain pass looking down to the terraced rice fields and the valley just simply amazing. This is the road less traveled, no massive tour groups just you and nature. So wonderful and peaceful. See more..
