7:00 AM – Breakfast in Cao Bang City
Start the day with a delicious breakfast at your hotel or homestay before diving into Vietnam’s revolutionary history.

8:30 AM – Ho Chi Minh Museum & Pac Bo Historical Site
Visit the Ho Chi Minh Museum and the Pac Bo Historical Site, where President Ho Chi Minh returned to Vietnam in 1941 after years abroad. Walk along the serene Lenin Stream, visit Coc Bo Cave, and see the humble place where he lived and worked — a sacred site for Vietnamese history.
The landscape here is serene and symbolic — green hills, crystal water, and the echo of patriotism still lingering in the air.

11:00 AM – Lunch at a Local Restaurant
Enjoy authentic local dishes like grilled stream fish, wild herbs, and sticky rice cooked in bamboo.

1:00 PM – Angel Eye Mountain (Núi Thủng) & Thang Hen Lake Exploration
Continue your journey to Angel Eye Mountain, a natural limestone arch with a massive circular hole — an awe-inspiring geological wonder. Trek across meadows, cross small streams, and stand beneath the “Eye of Heaven,” feeling the cool wind rush through the archway.

Then visit Thang Hen Lake, a turquoise mirror nestled among limestone peaks. This lake system includes 36 interconnected lakes, each changing color with the seasons. Take a peaceful walk along the shore or simply admire the reflection of clouds drifting across the surface.
It’s a place that feels like another world — untouched, timeless, and deeply calming.

Evening – Return to Cao Bang City
Return to your homestay for dinner and rest. Tonight, enjoy the quiet hum of the countryside, surrounded by stars and the distant sounds of nature.

8:30 AM – Ma Phuc Pass Scenic Viewpoint
After breakfast, depart toward Ma Phuc Pass, one of Cao Bang’s most beautiful mountain passes. The winding road offers a perfect panorama of limestone peaks and terraced valleys below. Take a few moments to breathe in the crisp mountain air and capture photos of this iconic landscape.

9:30 AM – Traditional Craft Villages
Continue to Phuc Sen Forging Village, where the rhythmic hammering of blacksmiths echoes across the valley — a craft passed down for generations. Then visit Phia Thap Incense Village, where the air is filled with the sweet scent of hand-rolled incense sticks drying in the sun, and Dia Tren Paper Village, where villagers make “do” paper using bamboo bark and ancient techniques.
Each stop offers not just sights but stories — of tradition, pride, and patience.

11:00 AM – Ba Quang Panorama
Arrive at Ba Quang Viewpoint, one of the most spectacular observation spots in Cao Bang. The endless layers of green hills and rice terraces unfold before your eyes like a natural tapestry. It’s a moment to pause, reflect, and truly feel the spirit of the highlands.

12:00 PM – Lunch at a Local Restaurant
Savor a local meal featuring mountain specialties before continuing the adventure.

1:30 PM – Nguom Ngao Cave Exploration
Venture underground into Nguom Ngao Cave, one of Vietnam’s most magnificent limestone caves. The name means “Tiger’s Den,” but today it’s a wonderland of glittering stalactites and stalagmites. As you wander through vast chambers, the sound of dripping water creates an almost musical rhythm, reminding you of nature’s timeless artistry.

4:30 PM – Khuoi Ky Stone Village & Homestay Check-in
Arrive at Khuoi Ky Village, a 400-year-old Tay ethnic settlement built entirely from stone. Stroll along cobbled paths, admire the stone houses, and listen to tales of old traditions.
Check into your charming Khuoi Ky Homestay, located just a few kilometers from Ban Gioc Waterfall. Dinner is served family-style — hearty, homemade, and full of warmth.
End the day by the fireplace or under the stars, soaking in the peace of this timeless mountain village.

8:30 AM – Breakfast in the Village
Wake up to the sounds of roosters and morning chatter echoing through the valley. Enjoy breakfast before setting off for one of Vietnam’s most breathtaking natural landmarks.

10:00 AM – Ban Gioc Waterfall Adventure
Arrive at the magnificent Ban Gioc Waterfall, Vietnam’s largest and most majestic border waterfall. Spanning over 200 meters, it cascades down three tiers, creating a thunderous roar and a veil of mist.
Take a bamboo boat on the Quay Son River to approach the waterfall closely — feel the spray, capture the moment, and let nature’s power fill your soul. It’s one of the most exhilarating experiences in Northern Vietnam.

12:00 PM – Lunch Near the Waterfall
Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant with views of the river and mountains. The freshness of local dishes perfectly complements the beauty of your surroundings.

2:00 PM – Co La Waterfall & Ngoc Con Valley Trek
Next, visit the hidden Co La Waterfall, a smaller yet equally beautiful cascade surrounded by forested cliffs.
Continue to Ngoc Con Valley for a gentle 40-minute trek through rice fields, bamboo bridges, and traditional Tay villages. The landscape here is pure serenity — golden terraces, grazing buffaloes, and the soft rhythm of everyday life.

5:00 PM – Return to Cao Bang City
Return to Cao Bang City in the late afternoon. Check into your hotel, relax, and enjoy a final dinner together before saying goodbye to the land of waterfalls and mountains.
