The best time to do the Ha Giang Loop is October and November, when the rain has stopped, the air is clear and buckwheat flowers fill the valleys, with March and April as a close second. The Loop works all year, but many travellers are surprised by what a tropical country can do in the mountains: near-freezing winter nights, heavy summer showers and landslides after storms. This guide covers what shapes the weather in Ha Giang, what to expect month by month, the best time for what you want to see, and how to deal with the rainy season, winter, fog and Vietnamese holidays.
