Your first day starts at 8 AM with a meetup with your guide to depart on a 5-hour drive to Ba Be National Park.
First, stop over in Thai Nguyen City to visit the Museum of Ethnic Minorities in Vietnam. Then, move further to Ba Be National Park later in the afternoon for an interesting biography lesson.
Up on arrival, it will be the finest time to discover the beauty of the lake located in the inmost recess of the jungle, at which you can join in a kayaking trip or swim in the jade-like deep water.
A full day 17-km trek departes from Coc Toc Village, an isolated village by the lake. You will then follow the off-road trails along Pe Lu Stream in the middle of poetic rice fields and the lush jungle where you spend another 1.5 hours to conquer the steep slope, and finally, end up in a small Hmong village.
Continue the trekking trip up to Nam Dai where you get to be welcomed by the warmest smile of the little Hmong and Yao students from a local school.
Move downhill afterwards to the Wind Peak for a picnic lunch in an indigenous local Hmong community house. From there, follow the winding trails down the valley, sneak through the peaceful villages, tropical jungles, and the ripening rice fields to return Ba be Lake.
If you make it in time, then freely spend the rest of the day swimming in the cool water before getting blown away by the romantic northern sunset.
Wake up early in the morning for an exotic breakfast before joining an exciting full-day cycling trip of nearly 30 km to other hidden parts of Ba Be National Park.
Get the ride started along the track from Pac Ngoi Village uphill to Vang Village. Make a short stop there and hike uphill to visit the dream-like Tat Ma Waterfall. The site is also named Silk Waterfall due to the fact that the downpouring water gives out an exact look of a soft falling piece of silk. Enjoy a swim or meditation under the waterfall before strolling down to Hua Ma Cave for an authentic lunch arranged at a local restaurant right close by the cave.
Hike up to Hua Ma Cave. This is where our guide will reveal an awesome legend about this mystic cave. Move further into the core of the cave and get ready to behold the brilliant stalactites and stalagmites, which make it one of the most enormous natural caves across the northeastern region of Vietnam.
Take a ride back to your homestay after an adventurous day later in the afternoon.
This last day of the trip is when you hop on a 3-hour boat trip around the lake. Join our guide to have a long walk down the paths around the lovely and tranquil Cam Village, where the freshest nature, local people and a rustic school is based.
Follow the peaceful Nang River to Puong Cave, where you get to admire the mind-blowing stalagmites and stalactites and flocks of bats calling it their home.
At the end of the day, arrive at Buoc Lom Wharf where you say goodbye to Ba Be and drive back to Hanoi.
