Northern Vietnam Charms

Day 1: Arrival in Hanoi – The Charm of the Capital

Upon arrival in Hanoi, Vietnam’s historic capital, you’ll be warmly greeted and transferred to your hotel in the lively Old Quarter. After settling in, the evening is free for you to wander and explore.
We recommend a stroll to the iconic Train Street, where locals live just inches away from the railway tracks, and where cafés buzz with energy as the train passes dramatically through the narrow alleyway. It’s the perfect introduction to the city’s unique rhythm and charm.

Day 2: Hanoi – Bai Dinh Pagoda – Trang An – Mua Cave – Hanoi

Morning:
At 7:20 – 8:00 AM, your guide and Limousine Shuttle Bus will pick you up from your hotel. Enjoy a comfortable ride through the picturesque countryside, with a short refreshment stop along the way.

Around 10:00 AM, arrive at the Bai Dinh Pagoda Complex, the largest Buddhist sanctuary in Vietnam. Marvel at its vast courtyards, intricate architecture, and spiritual grandeur. Highlights include:

• A colossal 10-meter bronze Buddha statue

• The longest Arhat corridor in Asia, lined with hundreds of serene stone statues

• Sweeping views over limestone peaks and tranquil valleys

Midday:
At noon, indulge in a hearty Vietnamese buffet lunch, offering both local delicacies and vegetarian options.

Afternoon:
At 1:30 PM, embark on a magical Trang An boat tour, gliding in traditional sampan boats through emerald rivers, mystical caves, and limestone karsts draped in lush greenery. Often called “Ha Long Bay on land”, Trang An is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that feels like stepping into a fairytale.

Around 4:00 PM, challenge yourself with a short hike up to the peak of Mua Cave. From the top, you’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of the Tam Coc Valley, its rice fields stretching like a golden carpet amid dramatic limestone mountains.

Return to Hanoi in the evening (between 7:00 – 7:30 PM), where the night is yours to relax or explore the Old Quarter’s lively food scene.

Day 3: Hanoi – Journey to Sapa

After breakfast, board a comfortable bus for the scenic drive to Sapa, the mountain town nestled in the Hoang Lien Son range. As the road winds higher into the mountains, you’ll be captivated by ever-changing views of terraced rice fields, bamboo forests, and hill-tribe villages.
Arrive in Sapa by late afternoon, where you can enjoy the cool mountain air and a leisurely evening.

Day 4: Free Exploration in Sapa

Today is yours to discover Sapa at your own pace. Options include:

• Visiting the charming Cat Cat Village, home to the Hmong ethnic minority, where traditional houses and handicrafts tell stories of ancient culture.

• Experiencing the whimsical Moana Sapa, a picture-perfect spot with sky swings and mountain views.

• Walking across the breathtaking Cloud Bridge, offering stunning vistas of misty valleys below.

• Exploring the lively Sapa Market, famous for handicrafts and outdoor gear, including Vietnam-made North Face products.

Day 5: Conquer the Roof of Indochina – Fansipan Peak

This morning, embark on an unforgettable adventure to the summit of Fansipan, the highest mountain in Indochina. A thrilling cable car ride takes you above sea clouds, revealing layers of terraced hills and rugged peaks. At the summit, standing at 3,143 meters, soak in the incredible panorama and snap once-in-a-lifetime photos at the legendary Fansipan peak.

The afternoon is free to relax in Sapa town, enjoy a coffee with mountain views, or visit local villages nearby.

Day 6: Sapa – Return to Hanoi

After breakfast, bid farewell to Sapa’s misty mountains and board the bus back to Hanoi. Arriving by evening, check back into your hotel in the Old Quarter. Tonight, you may want to enjoy a water puppet show, sample Hanoi’s famous street food, or relax with a cup of egg coffee.

Day 7: Hanoi at Leisure

A free day for you to enjoy Hanoi at your own rhythm. Stroll around the scenic Hoan Kiem Lake, explore the Temple of Literature, or shop for souvenirs in the buzzing Old Quarter. For food lovers, we recommend a street food tour to discover iconic flavors like pho, bun cha, and crispy spring rolls.
