Itinerary & Accommodation

DAY 1: HANOI - HOA LU CITADEL - TAM COC - HA NOI [L]

Located just 100 km south of Hanoi, Hoa Lu was the ancient capital of Vietnam during the Dinh Dynasty from AD 968 to 980. Despite the passage of time, many of its historic sanctuaries and tombs remain remarkably well-preserved and open to visitors. Beyond its rich history, the region captivates travelers with its stunning natural beauty—limestone karsts rising dramatically from green rice fields—earning it the nickname “Halong Bay on land.”

Your journey begins at 08:00 AM, departing from Hanoi for a 2-hour drive along Highway One. Upon arrival, you'll spend about an hour exploring the ancient Dinh and Le dynasty temples. The adventure continues with a 3-hour boat ride through Tam Coc along the tranquil Boi River, winding between majestic limestone cliffs, hidden caves, and age-old temples—a truly unforgettable experience.

After lunch at a local restaurant, the tour proceeds to Bich Dong Cave, known for its serene setting and panoramic views. Following this, we return to Hanoi, arriving back around 6:00 PM.
