Look forward to an exciting day away from Hanoi’s vibrant city life, combining the lush mountain scenery of Ba Vi National Park with a cycling tour through the historic village of Duong Lam.

In the morning, your guide will pick you up from your hotel, and you’ll head west through beautiful landscapes of green valleys and terraced fields. After around a two hours’ drive, you’ll reach Ba Vi National Park, which lies around the impressive Ba Vi Mountain.

Here, you’ll enjoy a hike through the lush forest, where the cooler mountain air and dense vegetation create a beautiful contrast to Hanoi. Along the way, you’ll reach an altitude of around 1,200 metres, where you can enjoy stunning views across the surrounding landscape and the Da River.

After the hike, you’ll continue to the historic village of Duong Lam, known for its several-hundred-year-old houses, temples, and pagodas. The village has been designated a national heritage site and offers fascinating insight into life and architecture in a traditional village in northern Vietnam.

With a local family, you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch while your host tells you about the village’s history, traditions, and daily life.

After lunch, you’ll get on your bike and set off on a leisurely cycle through Duong Lam’s atmospheric, winding streets and alleyways. Along the way, you’ll pass ancient temples and pagodas, several of which date back almost 400 years, and you'll have the opportunity to see impressive collections of Buddhist statues.

After your cycle, you’ll return to Hanoi following an enriching day filled with nature, history, and local village life.
