Day 1: Hanoi –Cuc Phuong National Park (L, D)
Pick-up at your hotel at 7am, then transfer 120 km on a good road to Ninh Binh. Upon arrival in the national park we visit to the Primate Rescue Centre, which is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, breeding, research and conservation of the endangered primates of Vietnam. From here we drive further to the centre of the national park where we start our real jungle trek through the national park. A national park ranger will be our on-site guide who makes sure that we do not get lost and he will tell us about the flora and fauna of the park. Picnic lunch in the shade of a giant tree. After 6 or 7-hour trek (up to your fitness) with lots of descents and ascents on jungle trails we make the last climb downhill to a peaceful valley and reach the village of Khanh, home to Muong ethnic minority. We will have dinner and spend our night with a family in their traditional house-on-stilt.

Day 2: Cuc Phuong – “Halong Bay on the rice field” – Hanoi (B, L)
After breakfast we say goodbye to the hosts and walk 1.5 km to the main road., where our waiting vehicle will transfer us to Thung Nang, which is known as the “Halong Bay on the rice field”.
