Full-day Exploring Hoa Lu And Trang An Grottoes

Description
We will pick you up at your hotel and drive two hours to Ninh Binh Province. Our first stop will be Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam during the 10th and 11th centuries. This city served as the capital for 41 years (968 - 1009), with the first 12 years under the Dinh Dynasty of King Dinh Tien Hoang, followed by the Le Dynasty under King Le Dai Hanh for 29 years. Temples dedicated to both kings are situated here, showcasing the rich history of this remarkable site.
After enjoying a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, we will embark on an amazing boat trip to explore the Trang An Grottoes, often referred to as Vietnam’s “Inland Ha Long Bay.” This stunning area consists of 31 valleys and 50 cross-water caves, boasting over 600 species of flora and more than 200 types of fauna, many of which are rare and endangered.
Rowing through the Trang An Grottoes offers a tranquil experience, accompanied by the sounds of chirping birds and oars stirring the clear water. Keep an eye out for wild white goats grazing on the forested mountains. Trang An Grottoes is truly one of Vietnam’s most breathtaking sights. After the boat trip, we will return to Ha Noi.
