The Local Team Behind Your HA GIANG LOOP

Lila Inn & Tours

About Us

We are LILA, a group of local hearts and hands rooted in Ha Giang. We’re not a corporation; we’re people who grew up here, love this land, and want to share it with honesty and soul.

Our name says it all: LILA

  • L – Local-rooted: grounded in our land, culture, and traditions.
  • I – Intentional: every stop, every story, every moment has meaning.
  • L – Low-key: we stay humble, letting real experiences speak louder than words.
  • A – Adventurous: ready to take you off the beaten path into Ha Giang’s hidden gems.

With LILA, your journey is more than a tour. It’s about connection, belonging, and discovery.

The Journey of Lila

The Beginning

2016 - 2018

Lila started as one of the first three tourism businesses in Ha Giang, offering motorbike rentals and a hostel service. In those early days, we mainly helped travelers find their way, sharing local tips with self-riders and slowly building our first tour experiences.

The Pause & Reflection

2019 - 2022

When Covid hit, tourism came to a standstill. Instead of stopping, Liam, our CEO, traveled across Vietnam to learn from fellow tour operators, gathering knowledge and experience that he later refined the strategy to shape Lila’s next chapter. This quiet period became the foundation for our upcoming journey.

Rebranding & Rising Stronger

2022 - Now

After reopening, we rebuilt Lila as a licensed inbound tour operator. Seeing safety risks, over-tourism, and local impacts in Ha Giang, we chose a different path-guided by three values: small groups, safety first, and off-the-beaten-path travel. Today, we create stable jobs for 40 local easy riders, host around 450 travelers per month, and remain a trusted local leader.

To create honest jobs for local people and help travelers discover the true soul of Ha Giang. No fancy office. No big investors. Just a few motorbikes, a group of easy riders from the mountains, and one belief:

“A meaningful journey can change lives both yours and ours”
