Detailed tour program:

Day 1

Breakfast and check out from the hotel

Bai Dinh Pagoda

The tallest pagoda in Vietnam, located next to the oldest temple on the mountain. Here are the largest bell and the largest Buddha statue, as well as the largest gilded Buddha in all of Asia. You can walk around the temple complex for several hours, enjoying the most beautiful views.

Bai Dinh Pagoda is a place of pilgrimage where people come from all over Vietnam. The territory of the complex is divided into 2 parts, the old one, where at a height of 200 meters on a separate ledge of the hill there is a pagoda built in 1136 and a new one, which was built from 2003 to 2010.

In total, the complex has 10,000 large and small sculptural images of the Buddha

Mountains and caves Trang An and the ancient capital of Hoa Lu

We will go on a boat trip between the picturesque cliffs of Ninh Binh province, sail through the caves and visit the ancient capital of Vietnam - the city of Hoa Lu.

Trang An Natural Complex is located on an area of 21 km2. It is a unique system of caves in limestone mountains with a large number of colorful stalactites and stalagmites.

Ninh Binh is one of the most beautiful provinces in northern Vietnam. It is famous for its natural attractions. There are many rivers and high cliffs, caves and grottoes.

Hoa Lu - ancient capital

Next we will visit Hoaly. Hoa Lu is the ancient capital of Vietnam, located near the modern capital - Hanoi. The city was the capital in the X century, when, after the end of the strife, Vietnam became a single state.

A significant part of the architectural heritage of the city has been preserved. Today, 47 ancient cultural monuments are located on the territory of the former capital - these are temples, pagodas, caves and grottoes.

Overnight at a 4* hotel

Day 2

Breakfast and check out from the hotel

Tam Coc National Park

Tam Coc National Reserve is the Ngo Dong River, flowing between limestone cliffs, some of which reach a height of 100 meters. The river washed out caves in three rocks, which is why the name of the Tam Coc reserve is translated as "three caves".

Tam Coc Nature Reserve is located 10 kilometers from the city of Ninh Binh and is the main attraction that attracts tourists to this city.

Boat trips are organized around the Tam Coc National Reserve for approximately 1.5 hours.

Dancing Cave (Mua Cave)

Mua in translation means "dancing". The cave is so named because King Tran, on his way to the capital of Hoala, often stopped at Mua Cave. In its large stone halls, dance performances performed by the imperial maids were arranged for him.

Hang Mua Peak

Hang Mua is the name of a mountain that is located along with the Mua Caves in a protected area next to the Tam Coc National Park (Tam Coc).

The visiting card of the Hang Mua peak is the observation deck, which is considered by many to be the best in northern Vietnam. From the top, stunning panoramic views of the nature of Ninh Binh open up.


To climb to the top, you will need to overcome almost 500 steps. The ascent lasts from 30 to 40 minutes. Climb to the top only if your physical condition allows you.

The main attraction of Hang Mua is the grandiose statue of a white dragon located on a mountain range.
