Ninh Binh Day Trip

At the scheduled time, our team will collect you from your Hanoi hotel and set off towards Ninh Binh province, which is approximately a two-hour bus ride away.

Our journey starts in Hoa Lu, known as the former capital of the Vietnamese Empire. Here, we will visit the temples honoring the Dinh and Le dynasties. The reconstructed entrance of this imperial city, shaped by hundreds of years of natural wear, is bound to astonish you!

Following this, we will ascend to the renowned Mua Cave, affectionately referred to as the “Princess of Ninh Binh.” After climbing close to 500 steps, we'll be greeted with stunning vistas of the hills and valleys in Tam Coc, creating an ideal backdrop for memorable photographs.

Post-climb, indulge in a delightful lunch at a local venue, where you can taste authentic regional specialties.

Once refreshed, we will jump on bicycles to explore the Bich Dong Pagoda, a peaceful site featuring three temples nestled within the mountains and lush foliage of the Tam Coc area.

To conclude our adventure in Ninh Binh, we will embark on a boat ride in the Van Long Nature Reserve. With a bit of luck, we may spot the rare Delacour's Langur, a charming and endangered primate species.

After an enriching 11-hour experience, we will return you to Hanoi and drop you off at your hotel.
