June is the heart of Ha Giang’s rainy season — the Dong Van Karst Plateau becomes dramatically green, waterfalls thunder from clifftops, and the region experiences heavy monsoon rains. The loop can still be ridden by experienced travellers with proper preparation, but conditions require careful planning.
