Is it still possible to do the Ha Giang Loop in 2024 without an international drivers license?
Just a reminder that this is illegal and I cannot guarantee that you will have the same experience, so everything you take from this, also do your own research and be prepared to have a different experience, be prepared for the worst and only embark on this trip if you are prepared to deal with the consequences.
The Ha Giang Loop is amazing! Doing it as part of a tour is recommended!
