What you can expect

In the morning, after breakfast, our driver will pick you up at your hotel and begin a day trip to explore the beauty of Ninh Binh. Enjoying the beautiful sceneries of the rural areas on the way.

About 10:30, arrival Ninh Binh, the first stop to discover is Tuyet Tinh Coc (or Am Tien Cave). To reach the cave, you must climb 205 stone steps through the cliff. Located halfway up the mountain, most of the cave is surrounded by high erect mountains. Am Tien cave faces west, you can watch sunset and see a large lake that called Ao Giai from the cave gate. Looking downward the Am Tien pagoda, tourists may contemplate the vast expanse of the majestic landscape here with high mountains and spacious clear lake.

The second site is Mua Cave. The way leading to the cave formed by a long stone staircase zigzags through the karst, there are nearly 500 steps to a simple altar to Quan Am. It is assumed that the cave entrance seems to be similar as “Great wall of China”. Don’t miss this place when you have a chance to visit Ninh Binh, explore Mua Caves and take magnificent Instagram viral-worthy shots.

We have lunch at a local restaurant to enjoy local cuisine. First option, you depart to visit Trang An eco-tourism, there is beautiful scenery landscape, you will board a small boat to visit Trang An, you will see majestic limestone cliffs and mysterious yet inviting caves, as well as countryside sights, like peaceful streams, rice paddies and deserted green fields. Take boat trip with route 2 to visit 4 cave complex: Hang Lam – Hang Vang – Hang Thanh Truot and Hang Dai. You also visit Suoi Tien and Hanh Cung Vu Lam Temples. This routes is with 2.5 to 3hours of visit.

Another option for afternoon is visiting Tam Coc. The name Tam Coc, literally translates as ‘three caves,’ referring to Hang Ca, Hang Hai, and Hang Ba. It is part of the wider UNESCO World Heritage site of Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex. Take your days slowly absorbing the beauty of the scenery. Rowing along the river by boat, or cycling along the quiet lanes through the rice paddies, is the perfect way to explore.
