Are you craving a journey that awakens your soul and brings you closer to nature’s untouched wonders? Our Cao Bang 4 Days 3 Night tour is a breathtaking experience that takes you off the beaten path into Northern Vietnam’s most magical landscapes. With majestic waterfalls, remote mountain passes, and rich cultural encounters, this tour is more than just a getaway—it’s an unforgettable escape.
Cao Bang is a hidden gem that offers everything from raw natural beauty to deep-rooted ethnic traditions. Over four days and three nights, you will trek through lush mountains, witness the power of Ban Gioc Waterfall, explore ancient caves, and immerse yourself in the daily lives of the Tay, Nung, and Hmong people.
Day 1: Hanoi – Cao Bang – Ma Phuc Pass – Ethnic Village Homestay
Your adventure begins in Hanoi. A comfortable transfer whisks you away toward the northeast. As you leave behind the hustle and bustle of the capital, rice fields, and misty mountains begin to dominate the scenery.
As you approach Cao Bang province, your vehicle winds through the iconic Ma Phuc Pass—a serpentine road flanked by limestone cliffs and lush greenery. This pass not only offers panoramic views but also marks your official entry into Cao Bang’s rugged charm.
In the afternoon, you’ll arrive at a Tay or Nung ethnic village. Your homestay experience will introduce you to traditional stilt houses, warm local hospitality, and a home-cooked dinner featuring specialties like grilled pork, five-color sticky rice, and corn wine.
Day 2: Ban Gioc Waterfall – Quay Son River – Nguom Ngao Cave
This day is packed with natural marvels. After breakfast, your guide takes you deeper into the heart of Cao Bang.
Ban Gioc Waterfall, located on the Vietnam-China border, is a thundering cascade surrounded by karst peaks and verdant plains. You can take a bamboo raft close to the falls and feel the mist kiss your face as rainbows form in the sunlight.
Flowing serenely through lush rice paddies and small hamlets, the Quay Son River is a hidden treasure. Enjoy a peaceful boat ride that gives you unique perspectives of both Vietnam and China, often separated by nothing more than a line of bamboo trees.
Just a short drive away is Nguom Ngao Cave, known for its surreal stalactite formations. The cave’s cool temperature and mysterious ambiance offer a stark contrast to the waterfall’s energy. Walking through its chambers feels like venturing into a mythical world.
Day 3: Cao Bang – Khau Lien Pass – Phia Thap Village – Herbal Foot Bath
Get ready for another day full of diverse experiences—from picturesque drives to soothing traditions.
Often overshadowed by its more famous cousin Ma Phuc, Khau Lien Pass surprises visitors with dramatic landscapes and secluded serenity. Perfect for landscape photography, the winding roads offer bird’s-eye views of deep valleys and scattered villages.
Nestled in a quiet corner of Cao Bang is Phia Thap, a village where generations have crafted handmade incense. Here, you’ll witness the meticulous process of mixing herbs, rolling bamboo sticks, and drying them under the sun—a unique tradition that survives modernity.
In the evening, you’ll be treated to a local herbal foot bath—an ancient therapeutic ritual made from forest leaves and medicinal roots. After a long day of exploration, this calming practice will ease your muscles and help you sleep soundly in your cozy homestay.
Day 4: Cao Bang City – Pac Bo Historical Site – Return to Hanoi
Before bidding farewell to Cao Bang, the final leg of your journey touches both natural beauty and national history.
Pac Bo – Where History Meets Nature
Pac Bo is where Vietnam’s revolutionary leader Ho Chi Minh once lived in exile. Visit Coc Bo Cave, Lenin Stream, and Karl Marx Peak—landmarks rich in history and symbolism. The lush surroundings offer a tranquil atmosphere that contrasts with the gravity of the past.
Farewell Lunch and Journey Back to Hanoi
After a farewell lunch, the group begins the return drive to Hanoi. Along the way, you’ll have time to reflect on the unforgettable memories made during your Cao Bang 4 Days 3 Night tour.
