Today, you’ll be rowed along the gentle flow of the river, passing towering karst limestone cliffs, through the three water-level caves of Tam Coc, followed by a stroll to Thai Vi temple. After lunch, you’ll cycle 12km to Hoa Lu, an early capital of Vietnam prior to Hanoi, visiting the old Palace and the temples in dedication of former emperors Dinh and Le, before boarding your support vehicle for the journey back to Hanoi.
