Overview

  • Escape the crowds and discover a different side of Ninh Binh on this journey from Hanoi. After a convenient hotel pickup, travel in comfort to Trang An, where you'll enjoy a peaceful boat ride through emerald waterways, hidden caves, and dramatic limestone mountains in this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    Continue to Hoa Lu Ancient Town to visit the tranquil Bac Pagoda (Bao Thap Ky Lan Tu), then climb around 100 steps to the top of Ky Lan Mountain for spectacular panoramic views over the ancient town and surrounding karst landscape.

    As the town comes alive in the evening, stroll through its lantern-lit streets and discover Ninh Binh's vibrant food scene with several stops to sample authentic local specialities. Finally, board a traditional lantern boat for a relaxing night cruise, where you'll enjoy tea, local sweets, and release a floating lantern while admiring the magical riverside scenery.

    Perfect for travellers looking to experience Ninh Binh beyond the usual day tours!
