ITINERARY
Day 1: Hanoi – Binh Gia – Dang Mo Waterfalls – Bac Son
Depart from Hanoi at around 08:30, take the nice drive on the most brand new freeway to Thai Nguyen passing the countryside of North Vietnam with rice paddy and tea plantation.

Day 2: Bac Son – Na Lay Peak – Mo Mam Cave – Hanoi
Enjoy the local breakfast with family at the long house, then take a short walk from village to Na Lay mountain where you’ll start the soft hiking up to the peak of mountains (about 1,200 steps up, few steps are collapsed after the raining season). Enjoy the spectacular panorama view of entire the valley. There is another hard trek for even better photo opportunity for those who love adventure and photography (talk directly to the guide of Vietnam Travel for the suitable alternative that fits your health).
