Itinerary

Day 1 · Hanoi - Ba Be Lake

Hanoi Old Quarter Vietnam

5 hours Admission included

Our tour guide will pick you up by car at your hotel in Hanoi about 7:30 AM to transfer you to Bac Kan. We will start by driving in the direction of Ba Be National Park for about 5 hours. You will be welcomed by a friendly host of Local Homestay and enjoy your lunch after checking in your room.
Ba Be National Park

3 hours

In the afternoon, start your boat trip around Ba Be Lake with our local guide. Ba Be Lake was recently recognised by UNESCO as the third Ramsar site in Vietnam - an important wetland of the world. The lake bed is made up of limestone with millions of crags and crevasses that are ideal for a large variety of marine life - there are over a hundred species of freshwater fish in the lakes. The boat will take you to visit the missable spots on Ba Be Lake. Moreover, you will have a chance to swim before getting back to your homestay and enjoy your night with dinner.

Day 2 · Ba Be Lake - Ban Gioc Waterfall - Nguom Ngao Cave - Cao Bang City

Quang Uyen

5 hours

After breakfast at Homestay, you will depart for Quang Uyen. a district inhabited primarily by Nung ethnic minority communities. Due to their isolation and the remote nature of the district, their centuries old traditions and culture remain recognizably distinct from other minorities in Vietnam. This remoteness and traditional simplicity is what makes Quang Uyen so appealing, and you will stop at a local restaurant to enjoy your lunch.
Nguom Ngao Cave

one hour Admission included

In the early afternoon, continue to drive to venture deep underground into the magical Nguom Ngao Cave, for a very different, but no less impressive natural wonder. The cave stretches for 2,144 meters underground and is brimming with incredible stalactites and stalagmites.
Ban Gioc Waterfall - Detian Falls

one hour Admission included

And, your highlight of the tour is that we take you to one of the most incredible natural wonders in Northern Vietnam: Ban Gioc Waterfall. This breath-taking 300-metre wide waterfall sits right on the border between China and Vietnam, amidst a beautiful mountainous landscape. While you’re here you can spend your time relaxing in the glow of the natural beauty, take some amazing photos, and and board a bamboo boat that will take you so close to the falls you’ll feel the water splashes on your face, practically sitting at the very edge of Vietnam, so close to China that you can actually touch it. Rounding out the day, you will then travel to Quang Uyen where you will have dinner and stay overnight at Nung’s house or Cao Bang city and stay overnight at hotel.
