DISCOVERY NINH BINH CHARM BY BIKE 2 DAYS
Day 1: Hanoi - Van Long - Cuc Phuong National Park
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 at your hotel. (You will also have the option
to take a boat cruise or do absolutely nothing and simply relax)

Day 2: Bai Dinh Pagoda - Dinh and Le Temples - Tam
Coc - Thai Vi Temple - Bich Dong Pagoda - Hanoi
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 which is reached on foot. Then you will continue riding through the
limestone peaks to Tam Coc, passing rice paddies and rural villages. You will
have lunch in Tam Coc near the boat pier before continuing biking to explore
