Detailed itinerary
Hanoi - Ha Nam - Meals: Lunch
07:30 - 08:00 The car and tour guide pick you up in the Old Quarter and the Hanoi Opera House to depart for Ha Nam.
10:00 Arriving at Tam Chuc, the tour guide takes the group to visit and pay respects at the Tam Chuc National Tourism Area. Tam Chuc Pagoda is associated with the legend of "Tien Luc Nhac - Hau That Tinh" (Six bells in the front, seven stars in the back). According to the legend, on the mountain range of 99 peaks located in the southwest facing Huong Pagoda, there are 7 peaks near Tam Chuc village. Ancient tales recount that on all 7 of these peaks, a bright light appeared like 7 stars, shining day and night. The sparkling light from above illuminated a vast area. Villagers named them the "That Tinh" (Seven Stars) mountains, and the pagoda here was called "That Tinh" Pagoda. Later, some people came to That Tinh Mountain and chiseled at it, attempting to take away those 7 special stars. They piled firewood into huge heaps and burned them for days, causing 4 stars to fade away, leaving only 3 stars behind. Therefore, "That Tinh" Pagoda was later renamed "Ba Sao" (Three Stars) Pagoda, and the town of Ba Sao (Kim Bang) also derived its name from this legend.
12:00 Have lunch at a restaurant.
14:00 The car takes you to Trang An wharf to board a boat to visit Trang An Eco-tourism Complex – where limestone ranges, valleys, and intertwined rivers create a magical and mysterious landscape.
You can choose 1 of the following 2 sightseeing options:
- Sightseeing by boat: With this route, you have the opportunity to visit 4 natural caves among the most beautiful in the Trang An complex: Lam Cave, Vang Cave, Thanh Truot Cave, and finally Dai Cave.

This route is very suitable for young people and photo enthusiasts, allowing you to fully experience the cave exploration boat ride and capture beautiful memories and pictures of your trip to Trang An.
- Kayaking by yourself: Besides sightseeing by traditional boat, visitors now have a new experience: paddling a kayak yourself to admire the majestic beauty of Trang An World Cultural and Natural Heritage.
