You'll also explore the unique geological splendor of the Dong Van Karst Plateau Geopark, marvel at the grandeur of Ban Gioc Waterfall, and find serene respite at the pristine Ba Be Lake.

Beyond the adrenaline-pumping rides, this journey offers profound cultural immersion. You’ll have the unique privilege of meeting and interacting with diverse ethnic minority groups, including the H'mong, Dao, Tay, and Nung, in their traditional villages, often perched precariously on mountainsides.
