Start your adventure with a convenient hotel pickup in Ninh Binh and head to Van Long Nature Reserve.
Upon arrival, hop into bamboo boat and explore the largest wetland nature reserve in Northern Vietnam. Admire the majestic limestone karsts reflecting on the crystal-clear water, pass through beautiful water caves, and spot the rare, endangered Delacour's Langurs wild on the cliffs.
Next, leave Van Long and enjoy a scenic drive through local villages and countryside roads toward Vietnam's oldest national park. Arrive at Cuc Phuong National Park and visit the Endangered Primate Rescue Center. Learn about the conservation efforts and see various species of rare primates, langurs, and gibbons rescued from the illegal wildlife trade.
Afterward, savor authentic local cuisine (such as Ninh Binh's famous goat meat or burnt rice) at a traditional restaurant near the park center. Then, take the bus deeper into the jungle center for an exciting jungle trek. Visit the Cave of Prehistoric Man (Nguoi Xua Cave), discovering the early human habitats dating back over 7,000 years. Continue trekking to witness the magnificent 1,000-year-old Ancient Tree (Cay Cho Ngan Nam).
Finally, say goodbye to the jungle and gather at the meeting point to board the bus back to your hotel.
