Hoa Lu, Trang An & Mua Cave Day Tour

  • Ninh Binh
  • Excursion d'une journée
  • Petit groupe
  • Prise en charge à l'hôtel

History, heritage and a summit view: the royal temples of Hoa Lu, the UNESCO-listed caves of Trang An and the 500-step climb to the top of Mua Cave.

Hoa Lu sets the scene: the 10th-century capital of the Dinh and Le dynasties, its kings remembered in temples tucked among the limestone.

At Trang An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the water leads you between towering cliffs and through caves such as Sang, Toi, Ba Giot and Nau Ruou.

The last word belongs to Mua Cave, where more than 500 steps climb Ngoa Long Mountain to a view over Ninh Binh and the Ngo Dong River. A premium buffet lunch, a guide all day and sport bicycles are part of the deal.

  • Follow the water through the caves of Trang An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
  • Climb 500+ steps up Ngoa Long Mountain for the Mua Cave panorama
  • Premium buffet lunch at Trang An Eco Restaurant

Des moments inoubliables

  • Where a kingdom began

    At Hoa Lu the temples of the Dinh and Le kings sit low among the limestone hills – a quiet place to imagine Vietnam's capital a thousand years ago.

  • Into the caves of Trang An

    Cliffs close in, the light dims, and the water carries you through one cave after another in a landscape UNESCO counts among the world's treasures.

  • The view from Ngoa Long

    After more than 500 steps, Ninh Binh opens up below you: the Ngo Dong River, the fields and the karsts stretching away in every direction.
