Vietnam’s hidden gem of dramatic landscapes and sacred heritage

Ninh Binh feels like a step into another world - a quiet haven where time freezes and nature is at its finest. Towering limestone karsts rise from emerald green rice paddies, and tranquil waterways wind through valleys and caves, earning the region another name 'Halong Bay on land.'

Beyond its cinematic beauty, Ninh Binh is also full of historical traces. As the former capital of Vietnam, Hoa Lu offers stone temples echoing stories of kings and dynasties. From the peaceful boat rides in Tam Coc to cycling, every moment here is a journey into Vietnam’s pastoral soul.

We can tailor your experience to balance discovery and serenity: hike along Cuc Phuong’s rainforest, explore hidden grottoes by paddle, or sip tea while watching the sunset over the karsts. Ninh Binh isn’t just a place to see - it’s a place to feel deeply connected to Vietnam’s roots.

Highlights

  • Explore ancient temples nestled in Hoa Lu’s historic valley
  • Hike to the top of Hang Mua for sweeping views of the countryside
  • Paddle through the caves and wetlands of Trang An, a UNESCO site

​Ninh Binh is where nature and history embrace. I always suggest taking a slow sampan ride through Trang An in the early morning - it’s peaceful, almost sacred. For those who love the outdoors, a slow walk through Cuc Phuong or a sunset bike ride past Tam Coc’s rice fields is simply unforgettable.
