Ninh Binh Day Trip

At the designated time, we’ll pick you up from your hotel in Hanoi and head to Ninh Binh province, approximately two hours away by bus.

Our adventure begins in Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of the Vietnamese Empire. We’ll explore the temples dedicated to the Dinh and Le dynasties and admire the restored entrance to the imperial city.

Next, we’ll visit Mua Cave, known as the “Princess of Ninh Binh.” After climbing nearly 500 steps, we’ll enjoy views of Tam Coc's hills and valleys.

Following our climb, we’ll have lunch at a local restaurant, featuring traditional regional dishes.

After lunch, we’ll cycle to the Bich Dong Pagoda, a tranquil complex of three temples set in the mountains and greenery of Tam Coc.

To conclude our Ninh Binh experience, we’ll take a boat ride through the Van Long Nature Reserve and may see the rare Delacour's Langur.

After an 11-hour adventure, we’ll return to Hanoi and drop you off at your hotel.
