Hanoi-Lang Son-Cao Bang (L/D)
Hanoi - The tour guide will pick up guests by car at their hotel between 7:30-8:00 am, and transfer them to Lang Son. The journey begins with a drive towards the Chinese border, lasting about 3 hours, before pausing at Chi Lang Pass. This 20-km-long gorge is formed by a narrow valley between two mountains and holds significant historical importance in Vietnam, being the site of numerous victories against Chinese invasions dating back to 981 AD.
Cao Bang - Known as Vietnam’s strongest citadel and bastion, visitors will have approximately an hour to explore the area around the Quy Mon Quan Gate, also known as “The Gate of Monsters.” This name reflects the many invading forces that passed through the pass, only to be repelled by resilient Vietnamese defenders. After enjoying lunch at a local restaurant in Dong Dang, the journey continues into the pass, with stops at Mother’s Temple and Dong Khe, a key historical site where The Battle of Dong Khe occurred during the First Indochina War. This battle, the first of the Indochina Wars, took place in September and October 1950, resulting in a decisive victory for the Viet Minh. In the evening, guests will enjoy dinner and an overnight stay in a local homestay operated by a Nung family.
Cao Bang - Ban Gioc Waterfall (B/L/D)
Ban Gioc Waterfall - Detian Falls - After breakfast at the homestay, the tour proceeds to Trung Khanh, located on the border with China. Here, guests can meet and interact with the local Nung people in the village of Phuoc Sen, renowned for its traditional blacksmithing. The farming tools crafted here are essential to the lifestyle, evident in the surrounding rice paddies and fields. Amidst these stunning landscapes lies the breathtaking Ban Gioc Waterfall, spanning over 300 meters and shared between Vietnam and China. Visitors will have time to soak in the incredible atmosphere and capture fantastic photographs.
Nguom Ngao Cave - After visiting the falls, the tour moves to Nguom Ngao Cave, another impressive natural wonder. The cave extends for 2,144 meters underground, filled with remarkable stalactites and stalagmites. Guests will then return to Cao Bang town and travel down the “snake pass” to Ba Be Lake, where they will stay overnight in a traditional Tay-style homestay operated by a Tay family. Here, guests can relax and enjoy a delicious, authentic home-cooked meal.
Ba Be Lake - Hanoi (B/L)
Ba Be - Following breakfast, the final day of the tour begins with a boat ride on the lake. Guests can choose to relax and enjoy the views or take a refreshing swim in the cool waters. The scenery features stunning karst formations covered with wild vegetation and rich wildlife. The boat continues along the Nang River, allowing exploration of the Puong Grotto caves, where visitors can admire the stalactites and stalagmites formed by river erosion and observe the large bat colony residing there. As the tour concludes, guests will be driven approximately 230 kilometers back to Hanoi, with a stop at a tea plantation nestled among rolling hills. Upon arrival in Hanoi, it is time to bid farewell, having created lifelong memories and connections.
