LUXURY NINH BINH ADVENTURE BY BIKE 3
DAYS
Day 1: Hanoi - Van Long - Cuc Phuong National Park (L, D)
You will be picked up at 8:00 am at the hotel and leave Hanoi for a two
hour drive along Highway One (formerly Mandarin Road). You will start
cycling from Dich Long Bridge and bike on the dyke of Van Long Nature Reserve.
You will see caves, green rice fields, limestone peaks and the rural life of
the locals. Your final biking destination of this morning will be your
hotel.
In the afternoon (following a short transfer by van to the Cuc Phuong
National Park) you will visit the Primates Rescue Center. You will then cycle
up hills further into the jungle (18km), which is a challenging ride, but worth
it once you find yourself in the middle of the jungle, listening to the musical
sound of the local birds. Next, you will go back to the comfort of your
hotel where you will enjoy the spa and dine in style. You will also have the
option to take a boat cruise or do absolutely nothing and simply relax before
an overnight stay.
Accommodation: Cuc Phuong Resort and Spa or Ana Mandara Ninh Binh
Cycling Distance: 30 km
Day 2: Bai Dinh Pagoda - Dinh and Le Temples - Tam
Coc - Thai Vi Temple - Bich Dong Pagoda (B, L, D)
You will travel by van to Bai Dinh Pagoda, which is the biggest pagoda
in Vietnam. From here, you will start cycling on the countryside road to Hoa
Lu, an ancient citadel of Vietnam, dating back to the 10th century. You
will stop here in order to visit Dinh and Le Temples, as well as Nhat Tru Pagoda
(or the One Pillar Pagoda) and Yen Ngua Mountain, which is reached on
foot. Then you will continue riding through the limestone peaks to Trang
An and then Tam Coc, passing rice paddies and rural villages. You will
have lunch in Tam Coc near the boat pier before continuing biking to explore
Tam Coc, Thai Vi Temple, Bich Dong Pagoda and more.
Cycling Distance: 30 km
Day 3: Ninh Binh - Cathedral Phat Diem - Hanoi (B,
L)
After breakfast at your hotel, you will then cycle to Phat
Diem Stone Cathedra (the centre of Vietnamese Catholicism and referred to
as the Rome of Vietnam) where you will take a guided tour around the immense
19th century structure. You will also visit a factory where villagers produce
handicrafts for the churchgoers. The beauty of today's cycling is that you will
ride through typical Vietnamese villages and see wooden bridges, river views,
while visiting farmers' homes, where you will get a real impression of the
Vietnamese landscape and its people. You will drive back to Ninh Binh for
lunch and at 3 pm we will load your bikes on our van and take you back to Hanoi
where you will arrive at around 5 pm.
Cycling Distance: 30 km
