At Kenh Ga, board a local sightseeing boat and travel along the river to view the village surroundings. See limestone hills, vegetation along the banks and houses close to the water. Observe local boats and learn how river transport contributes to daily activities in the area. Enjoy the scenery at a relaxed pace before returning to the village landing point.

Explore the accessible village surroundings to understand the area’s traditional rural character. See the relationship between homes, farmland and the river, while your guide explains local livelihoods and community life. Depending on local activity, you may observe farming or other daily tasks. This stop provides a closer understanding of the community before the drive to Thung Nham.
Stage 4: Lunch Stop and Transfer to the Ecotourism Area
Have lunch at a local restaurant offering Vietnamese cuisine, potentially including Ninh Binh mountain goat, crispy rice, vegetables and steamed rice. The exact menu depends on the restaurant and dietary requirements. Continue by private car to Thung Nham Ecotourism Area, passing rural settlements, green fields and limestone scenery.
Stage 5: Explore Buddha Cave and the Surrounding Landscape
Visit Buddha Cave (Hang Bụt) if boat access is operating on the day of your tour. Discover the cave’s rock formations and surrounding natural landscape.
