Day 1: From Ninh Binh: Chau Son Monastery & Suoi Gio Waterfall Tour
Begin your day with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Ninh Binh or Tam Coc. Head to the Chau Son Holy Mother Monastery, a Gothic-style cathedral built entirely from red bricks without plaster coatings. Stroll through the tranquil, beautifully landscaped gardens and the scenic stone egg courtyard.
Leave the monastery and enjoy a scenic drive along the rugged forest roads heading toward the Suoi Gio area. Stop for a traditional Vietnamese lunch in a rustic, open-air setting right near the water.
Arrive at Suoi Gio, a secluded forest stream hidden deep within the nature reserve. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere far away from the busy tourist crowds. Walk along the stream, capture photos of the cascading water, and feel the natural, cooling breeze that gives the "Wind Waterfall" its name.
Immerse yourself in nature with free time for kayaking along the calm waters. Take a refreshing dip or swim in the crystal-clear natural pools.
Finally, leave the forest behind and drive back to the lowlands.
