Day 1: Hanoi - Quang Uyen, Vietnam

Location: Quảng Hòa District

Hanoi Accommodation Pick-Up & Transfer to Quang Uyen

You'll begin your trip with pick-up from your Hanoi accommodation around 7:30-8am. The drive towards the Vietnam-China border will take about three hours. On it, you'll stop at Chi Lang - a 20-metre long structure built in a narrow valley between two mountains. Chi Lang is considered one of the strongest citadels of the time. Enjoy a walk to explore the grounds and visit the “Quy Mon Quan” gate, which means the Gate of Monsters, where many invaders attempted to enter Vietnam. After lunch at a local restaurant in Dong Dang, continue your journey with visits to Mother’s Temple and Dong Khe – the historic site where the Battle of Dong Khe was fought during the First Indochina War. Tonight, you'll have dinner and stay overnight in the homestay of a Nung family in Quang Uyen.

Driving Time: Approx. 5 Hours


Day 2: Quang Uyen - Ba Be Np, Vietnam

Location: Ba Be National Park Tour

Transfer to Ba Be National Park

After breakfast at the homestay, say goodbye to your host family and depart for Trung Khanh on the Chinese border. Here you will have the chance to meet more Nung people in the village of Phuoc Sen, a mountainous village famous for its traditional blacksmithing. The farming tools made here are an integral part of the lifestyle evident in the surrounding rice paddies and fields. Nestled amongst these amazing landscapes is the breathtaking Ban Gioc Waterfall, which spans over 300 meters, half in Vietnam and half in China. You will have time to soak up the powerful atmosphere of the falls and take some fantastic photos before heading to another natural wonder, Nguom Ngao Cave. This cave stretches out 2,144 meters underground and is brimming with incredible stalactites and stalagmites. You will then make your way to return Cao Bang town and head through the snake pass to Ba Be Lake. Tonight you will stay overnight in the traditional house of a Tay ethnic family. At the homestay, you can relax and unwind from the day and enjoy a meal of home-cooked local food.

Driving Time: Approx. 5 Hours


Day 3: Ba Be Np - Hanoi, Vietnam

Location: Hanoi

Return to Hanoi & Accommodation Drop-Off

This morning, after breakfast at the homestay, we’ll head out onto the waters of the lake where you can relax on board, do some wildlife spotting or jump into the cool, clean waters for a refreshing swim! As you float on Ba Be Lake, you can take in the scenery of the surrounding karsts decorated with patches of wild vegetation and inhabited by all sorts of interesting creatures. The boat ride floats along the Nang River, with time to explore the stunning Ba Be Lake, the caves of Puong Grotto where you can explore the stalactites and stalagmites and look out for the bat colony several thousand strong. After this adventure we’ll begin the journey back Hanoi, a drive of approximately 150 miles (230 kilometers). We will stop at a tea plantation along the way before you are dropped off at your chosen accommodation in the bustling city of Hanoi.

The Bamba Team really made my journey one of the most memorable experiences of my life! Still so nice and supportive! They handled everything and responded to each question within a few minutes. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. Especially if you want to do a lot of activities and travel to a lot of different places without feeling rushed. They've also helped me with specific issues that weren't covered by the tour, as well as answering general questions. Thank you so much for making my journey so enjoyable!

The tour was fantastic; I was able to visit some of Japan's most beautiful locations, and the accommodations were excellent, with convenient access to the city's best attractions. Also, our tour guide was fantastic. I will pick bamba again and recommend the tour to anyone who wants to see Japan while having a good time!!

I only have good words about our trip to Kenya. The entire experience was totally magical and I struggle to say how fantastic it was. We were fortunate enough to have a brilliant vehicle for ourselves, but we had great luck with David for our guide too. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and nice. Thank you for helping to create this fantastic safari experience. I Highly recommend this company.

Bamba Experience has been the best tour guide I've ever had. Every tour has been a thrilling experience. There are so many things to choose from. Bamba has been extremely helpful in providing us with all of the necessary information for our departures and activities! Bamba has made this a simple and enjoyable experience. I'll certainly tell my friends and family about it! Thank you very much, Bamba!!

Feb 20 2020

We organized a trip through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia on the hop-on, hop-off bus. It made the trip so much simpler for us as first-time travelers because we just had to send an email to arrange the bus, which avoided the hassle of looking for the best price and so on! We also had a number of tours included, they were all amazing and saved us the trouble of trying to find the best offers on our own; it also meant we got to see a lot of stuff we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I will strongly suggest and use again!

Our Bamba tour of Vietnam was fantastic. We had a lot of new experiences and all of the help we needed to make this a stress-free vacation. The well-organized accomodation and transportation were excellent. We will certainly use Bamba in the future.

Jun 25 2019

I had booked our Uyuni Salt Flats & Desert Adventure 3D/2N (Uyuni to Atacama) tour via an Australian travel agency, but they had made an error and refused to assist us or take responsibility. This was very difficult for us because we wanted to have a stress-free honeymoon. I contacted Bamba and I asked if we could talk on the phone so they made the improvements to our tour reservation that our travel agent declined to make. The quality of service was exceptional and they generously offered to us a complimentary gift because it was our honeymoon. I can't say enough good things about Bamba.
