About Loka Ha Giang

LOKAHAGIANG - TRAVEL HA GIANG WITH LOCALS

Lokahagiang is a special project of Vietnam Travel Advisor – Viettravelo.com and Ha Giang Travel Advisor – Thodiahagiang.com, built by Mr. Giap Van Hai – a Travel Blogger who has a deep love and dedication for the northern mountains of Vietnam, especially Ha Giang province.

Proud to be the pioneer team in community-based tourism in Ha Giang, we not only give you a real insight into local lives, but also create a genuine difference to ethnic people.

Through our unique tours, we aim at sustainable tourism values, organize charity and social projects to help ethnic people not only have jobs, improve income to cover lives, but also be deeply aware of their cultural values and preserve them in the best way.

In order to bring real value, we focus on your “experience” and “journey” rather than just “check-in”. Our tours are designed to give everyone an authentic taste of the local community’s heritage, their cultural traditions and natural resources, and in this way bring more immersive and richer travel experiences to our beloved travelers.

Our guides are 100% locals, they’re young ethnic people from different groups who are selected and trained to become storytellers on the road and good friends of yours in our journeys exploring Ha Giang. More than anyone else, we’re the most knowledgeable about the nature, culture and life here, from which we can convey information and messages to you perfectly and accurately.

The lives of many highland people are still really difficult and needy. Through our special tours, we hope you can understand all the values we want to convey as well as join hands with us to help their lives better and contribute to Ha Giang tourism development in the right way and sustainably.

With more than 700+ journeys in Ha Giang with people all around the world over the past 6 years, we have created significant values ​​to ethnic communities as well as brought authentic local experiences, mind expanding adventures and breathtaking sceneries to everyone. So, are you ready to be our next special guest exploring Ha Giang as a real local?
