Itinerary

Day 1: Hanoi to Tam Coc

Start your journey from Hanoi's Old Quarter by a shared van to Tam Coc, the land of King Kong. Upon arrival, drop your backpack at your homestay, meet with your English-speaking guide and hop on a bike to explore the countryside. Gliding through the dirt road to reach Bich Dong, built in the 15th century, it consists of three structures: the Ha, Trung, and Thuong Pagodas, all nestled in a mountain cliff. It is a popular destination for tourists looking to experience the beauty and history of Vietnam. Return to the restaurant for a delicious lunch, then, in the afternoon, take a boat ride through the Ngo Dong River, a scenic area with limestone karst formations, winding rivers, and lush greenery. Passing through three natural caves while enjoying the stunning natural beauty is an unforgettable experience.
