Ninh Binh 2 Days: Bai Dinh, Trang An, Tam Coc & Mua Cave

  • Ninh Binh
  • 2 días
  • Grupo reducido
  • Recogida en el hotel

Two unhurried days in Ninh Binh: Bai Dinh Pagoda and the caves of Trang An, a night in a pool bungalow at Trang An Holiday Retreat, then Hoa Lu, Tam Coc by boat and the Mua Cave summit.

Some places deserve more than a day trip. On day one, Bai Dinh's bronze bells and stone Arhats give way to Trang An, where a boat carries you for around two and a half hours through Sang, Toi, Ba Giot and Nau Ruou caves.

By five you're at Trang An Holiday Retreat, with time to swim before dinner – and a slow morning to explore the neighbourhood after breakfast.

Day two belongs to Hoa Lu's royal temples, a boat ride through Tam Coc's 'Ha Long Bay on land' and the climb up Mua Cave, before the drive back to your hotel in Hanoi.

  • See the 500 stone Arhats and giant bronze bells of Bai Dinh Pagoda
  • Follow the water through the caves of Trang An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
  • A night in a pool bungalow at Trang An Holiday Retreat
  • Walk through Hoa Lu, the 10th-century capital, and the temples of the Dinh and Le kings
  • See the karsts and river caves of Tam Coc, the 'Ha Long Bay on land'
  • Climb 500+ steps up Ngoa Long Mountain for the Mua Cave panorama

    7:00–7:50: your guide and driver pick you up from your hotel in Hanoi's Old Quarter for the transfer to Ninh Binh. Around 9:15 there is a 15–20-minute break to stretch your legs, use the facilities or have a quick snack.

    10:30: Bai Dinh Pagoda, one of the most famous pagodas in Vietnam and known for many Asian and Vietnamese records. See the 500 stone statues of Arhats, the bell tower with its 27-ton and 36-ton bronze bells and the golden statue of the Goddess of Mercy. An electric car takes you in and out, both ways.

    12:00: lunch of Ninh Binh specialities in the private area of Trang An Holiday Retreat; a vegetarian option is available.

    13:30: Trang An, with its majestic limestone cliffs, mysterious yet inviting caves and deserted green fields. A boat trip of around 2.5 hours takes you through the cave complex: Sang Cave, Toi Cave, Ba Giot Cave and Nau Ruou Cave.

Momentos que recordarás

  • Into the caves of Trang An

    Cliffs close in, the light dims, and the water carries you through one cave after another in a landscape UNESCO counts among the world's treasures.

  • Evening at the retreat

    The day ends at Trang An Holiday Retreat, in a bungalow with a pool – time to swim, rest and let the limestone landscape settle in.

  • The view from Ngoa Long

    After more than 500 steps, Ninh Binh opens up below you: the Ngo Dong River, the fields and the karsts stretching away in every direction.

Por qué nos encanta este viaje

Staying the night changes everything: the late-afternoon swim, the quiet morning, and both of Ninh Binh's great water landscapes – Trang An and Tam Coc – by boat, without rushing either.
