Hanoi, Ha Long Bay and Ninh Binh
4.9 / 5from 61 Google reviewsPackage Overview
About This Package
This is the Vietnam trip most first-time travellers from Nepal take: four nights in the north, with the three places every visitor wants to see. You stay three nights in one hotel in Hanoi's Old Quarter, and spend one night on a cruise boat on Ha Long Bay, which is the part people talk about afterwards.
The Ninh Binh day is a long one and worth it. A rowing boat takes you through the river caves at Trang An, and 500 steps at Mua Cave give you the view over the limestone peaks and rice fields. The Hanoi day covers the Temple of Literature, Hoan Kiem Lake, the railway line that runs between the houses on Train Street, and a water puppet show in the evening.
It fits into a week of leave, and it can be made longer: Classic Vietnam adds two nights in Da Nang.
