Go on a bird watching tour in Vietnam at the Cuc
Phuong National Park and explore a wealth of
wildlife, endemic flora and centuries old caves.

Spread on 25,000 hectares, the Cuc Phuong
National Park in the city of Hanoi (140 kilometers
south of Hanoi) is renowned for its botanical
richness, primeval forests and over 120 species
of birds. In 1962, the Cuc Phuong was
established as the first national park of Vietnam.
Hike into the dense forest of the national park
and spot thousand-year-old dracontomelum and
parashorea trees surrounded with coral, vanilla,
snow-white and butterfly orchid blooms. You
could have a chance encounter with a panther or
bear, but creatures like monkeys, flying squirrels
and pheasants are found everywhere in the
park, so keep your camera ready!

If you are visiting this place in April and May, you’
ll see a swarming mass of colourful butterflies, a
variety of beetles and rare species of birds.

Continue east towards Ninh Binh Province away
from mountainous areas towards the flatlands.
Next morning, set out on an excursion from Ninh
Binh to the Dry Halong Bay. The bay is popularly
known as Tam Coc which means three caves;
Hang Ca, Hang Giua and Hang Cuoi. Take a tour
around the region and you’ll see huge rock
formations protruding out of paddy fields. Also
visit Haolu, an erstwhile capital of the country
under Dinh Dynasty and find out about the
history and culture of Vietnam.

In the morning, go on a boating excursion to the
Kenh Ga floating village where people live on
boats floating on the Hoang Long River. This
pretty village is built on a flooded river
surrounded by limestone rocks. You’ll come
across catholic churches, water-logged
cemeteries and local villagers passing by on their
boats.

Continue to visit the Phat Diem, the site of a
cathedral remarkable for its vast dimensions and
unique Sino-Vietnamese architecture. Marvel at
the huge bell dangling from the highest tower of
the cathedral and the two stone slabs which
were used by the members to observe catholic
mass.

From Ninh Binh you return back to Hanoi. Learn
about the culture of Vietnam, explore floating
villages and take a bird watching tour to Cuc
Phuong National Park in this family holiday in
Vietnam.
