Ho, ho, holy motorbike adventures! Christmas is just around the bend, and there’s no better way to celebrate than cruising through the crisp winter landscapes of Northern Vietnam on the Ha Giang Loop with Bong Hostel.
Swap snowy Sapa peaks or decorated Hanoi streets for stunning mountain passes, jingle bells for the revving of motorbikes, and zingy pho dinners for a traditional Christmas feast.
Ready to sleigh your Christmas plans? Let’s dive into why Christmas on the Ha Giang Loop is the gift that keeps on giving!
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas…
Who needs a snowy Christmas when our homestays along the loop are decked out in holiday cheer?
Picture this: twinkling fairy lights strung up in cozy dorms, tiny Christmas trees glowing in the corners of rustic homestays, its kinda just like home right?
At Bong Hostel, we’re all about adding a festive flair to your adventure. From karaoke carols with the crew to sipping on “happy water” (Vietnamese rice wine) with fellow loopers, your Christmas spirit will be in full throttle.
Oh, and did we mention the traditional Christmas dinner? Expect all the festive feels but with a delicious Vietnamese twist—don’t miss it!
Follow the Leader? Try Following Santa!
The leader of your pack this Christmas won’t just be an experienced guide—they’ll be Santa Claus on a motorbike! That’s right; our team is pulling out all the stops to make this a Christmas you’ll never forget.
Whether you chose the easy-rider tour option or you’re driving your own motorbike, you’ll be trailing behind Santa’s merry motorcade through the winding roads of Ha Giang.
Two Ways to Enjoy Christmas on the Ha Giang Loop
We get it—everyone’s adventure style is different. That’s why we offer two types of tours:
Hop on the back of a bike with one of our skilled local drivers.
This way you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the incredible views without breaking a sweat. From admiring the Ma Pi Leng Pass or waving to kids shouting “Merry Christmas!” in mountain villages, your easy-rider will make sure you’re safe and smiling.
Prefer to take the handlebars yourself? No problem! We’ll kit you out with a semi-automatic 110cc motorbike and all the support you need to tackle the loop like a pro.
Just remember to bring your international motorbike license!
