Is Ha Giang safe for solo female travelers?

Loved it! Really great experience with a small group, did 3 days 2 nights and it was perfect. We were well taken care of by the riders and saw the most stunning scenery. Only thing is that lunch and dinner is the same food for every day 😂

Solo travel

I have lived in some of the most remote areas of Vietnam, right on the border with China, where the Hmong minority resides. The people there live in extremely challenging conditions, lacking basic necessities for a decent living and development. Many of them don't even speak Vietnamese and have little access to education. My time spent volunteering in these communities has been incredibly humbling and eye-opening. These time has changed my mindset so much and im more mature from all experience with locals there! Witnessing their struggles and resilience has deepened my appreciation for cultural exchange and human connection. This experience has fueled my passion for travel and my desire to make a positive impact wherever I go.

Did the Ha Giang loop and I highly recommend! It was generally quite safe as we are always with our easyrider. And the roads/routes felt pretty safe, if you book an easyrider then it'll be safer as they are more familiar with the roads. Booked a tour so food was included. Depending on the company you book with, so food may vary. Tour was about 2mil VND and I barely spent any money during the tour except for drinks so do bring enough cash. We stayed in different hostels every night as we are always on the move so it was pretty fun, personally I find it quite interesting.

I've felt extremely safe here. All the locals were super friendly. Bags and helmets were left in the bikes, and nobody stole anything. Everyone was really helpful or left you alone. Communication is tough. There are not many people who speak English. Although the kids know some.

I can sleep with the balcony open without worrying someone might break in. I thought that's already risky but somehow one of my friend can even open her main door entrance throughout the night. The people here are very friendly as well, you can leave a bike unattended on the road and hardly anyone would steal it from my experience. Just look out when some people try to overcharge you because you're tourist
