- Hoa Lu Temple - After a 2.5-hour drive from Hanoi, depending on traffic, the group arrives in Ninh Binh and takes a short break at a local restaurant. From there, a biking trip through the serene countryside leads to Hoa Lư, the ancient capital of Vietnam during the 10th and 11th centuries. Along the way, participants can admire the stunning limestone mountains, lush rice fields, and rural villages. At Hoa Lư, visitors explore the temples of King Đinh and King Lê, the founders of Vietnam’s first royal dynasty, and learn about the country’s early history and culture.
- Ninh Binh - After visiting the temples of King Đinh and King Lê, the group cycles back to the restaurant to enjoy a delicious buffet lunch featuring a variety of local dishes. The lunch break lasts about one hour, providing time to relax and recharge before continuing the journey.
- Trang An Landscape Complex - Post-lunch, the journey continues to Tràng An (with a 2.5-hour boat ride) or Tam Coc (with a 1.5-hour boat ride), where guests enjoy a scenic boat trip through a network of stunning limestone caves, each ranging from 150 to 450 meters long. As they glide along the peaceful river, they can admire the spectacular karst formations, crystal-clear waters, and lush green landscapes that make Tràng An/Tam Coc one of Vietnam’s most breathtaking natural sites.
- Mua Caves - After exploring Tràng An/Tam Coc, the group heads to Mua Cave (Hang Múa), one of the most famous viewpoints in Ninh Binh. From the base, participants climb about 500 stone steps that wind up the mountain to the top of Mua Peak. The hike may take around 15 to 20 minutes, but once at the summit, they are rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of the Tam Cốc valley, winding rivers, and lush rice fields below.
As the day concludes, this is also the perfect spot to watch the sunset, when the golden light spreads across the limestone mountains and the landscape transforms into a stunning natural painting, offering a truly unforgettable experience in Ninh Binh.
- Hanoi - After completing all activities, the group returns to Hanoi, with the drive taking approximately 2.5 hours. Please note that travel time may vary depending on traffic conditions.
