Cao Bang Tour 3 Days – Explore Ban Gioc Waterfall, Angel Eye Mountain & Thang Hen Lake

Hidden deep in Vietnam’s northern mountains, Cao Bang is a land of breathtaking beauty, untouched nature, and warm-hearted people. This 3-day tour takes you on a soul-stirring journey to discover its most iconic treasures — the majestic Ban Gioc Waterfall, the mysterious Angel Eye Mountain, and the tranquil Thang Hen Lake.
It’s not just a trip; it’s an awakening — a perfect blend of natural wonder, cultural discovery, and heartfelt connection.

A Land of Pure Nature and Emotion

The moment you leave the bustling city behind, the air feels fresher, the mountains taller, and the sky wider. The winding road to Cao Bang opens up like a cinematic journey — limestone peaks rising above rivers, remote villages tucked between valleys, and farmers waving as you pass. You feel closer to nature with every kilometer.

Upon reaching Ban Gioc Waterfall, the mighty sound of rushing water greets you. Straddling the Vietnam–China border, this is the largest waterfall in Southeast Asia, cascading over multiple tiers into turquoise pools below. Standing before it, you feel small — yet wonderfully alive. Mist caresses your face as rainbows form above the spray, and for a moment, time seems to pause.

Nearby lies the enchanting Nguom Ngao Cave, a masterpiece sculpted by nature over millions of years. Walking through its limestone chambers feels like stepping into another world — where stalactites shimmer under soft light, and every corner tells a story of water and time.

As the journey continues, you’ll explore the hidden gem of Angel Eye Mountain (Núi Thủng) — a natural limestone arch soaring above emerald fields. The massive circular hole in the mountain, shaped like a giant eye gazing into the sky, creates an unforgettable scene. At sunrise or sunset, when light filters through the opening, the view is almost otherworldly. Travelers often describe it as “a window between heaven and earth.”

End your journey at the tranquil Thang Hen Lake, a cluster of 36 blue-green lakes that interconnect during the rainy season. Nestled amid limestone hills, the lake reflects clouds and mountains like a living painting. Take a quiet boat ride, listen to birdsong, and feel the peace that only nature untouched can offer.

But beyond the landscapes, Cao Bang’s spirit lies in its people — the Nùng, Tày, and Dao ethnic communities who welcome you with smiles and stories. Stay in a local homestay, taste mountain dishes cooked on woodfire, and share rice wine under starlit skies. These moments of connection are the true treasures of travel.

Through this 3-day tour, you will not only see Cao Bang — you will feel it: the rush of waterfalls, the silence of caves, the warmth of human connection, and the profound calm of nature’s embrace.
