Itinerary
Day 1: Hanoi – Dao Dao Hoa Glamping – Vua Ba Peak – Hanoi

07:30 Board our comfortable transfer vehicle for a short, scenic drive towards Thach That. After approximately 45 minutes, we will arrive at Dao Dao Hoa Glamping, where we will gear up, do some light stretching, and prepare for an exciting trekking expedition up Vua Ba Mountain.

08:45 Commence our trek towards the summit of Vua Ba, which stands at an impressive 1,050 meters above sea level. This specific trail features several steep but relatively short ascents, pleasantly interspersed with flatter, lower ridges that provide an excellent chance to catch your breath. As we surpass the 700-meter elevation mark, you will notice a distinct, refreshing drop in temperature compared to the base of the mountain.

11:15 Reach the triumphant mountain peak. Take ample time to capture photographs and marvel at the spectacular 360-degree panoramic views—with the sprawling, rugged landscapes of Hoa Binh province on one side and the vast plains of Hanoi on the other. On exceptionally clear days, the shimmering waters of the Hoa Binh Reservoir can even be seen in the distance. We will enjoy a well-deserved picnic lunch right at the summit, resting and replenishing our energy before beginning the descent.

13:00 Begin our scenic trek back down towards Dao Dao Hoa Glamping. During the warm summer months, we will make a delightful stop to swim and cool off in the crystal-clear waters of Ngoc Stream (Suoi Ngoc) along our descent route.

16:00 Arrive safely back at the glamping site. The late afternoon is entirely dedicated to water activities and recovery. You can choose to paddle a SUP and swim in the expansive natural lake, or simply unwind with a refreshing dip in the resort's pristine swimming pool.

17:30 Transition into a deeply relaxing evening session. Indulge in an elegant sunset viewing experience, accompanied by chilled beverages and a curated selection of premium cold cuts. Surrounded by friends and fellow travelers, we will unwind to gentle, ambient music as we watch the sun gracefully dip behind the majestic silhouettes of Vua Ba and Nam Vien peaks.

18:30 Board the transfer vehicle for the smooth return journey to Hanoi.

19:30 Arrive safely in the capital, officially concluding our action-packed and highly restorative one-day getaway.
