In this “ Ninh Binh day trip to Thien Ha grotto & Mua cave”, we would like to customize a day journey starting from Hanoi or Ninh Binh to visit a newly- exploited Thien Ha grotto – “ less touristic and naturally beautiful”; and Mua Cave – a special trekking point where you can have an impressive captivation of magnificient limestone pillars, rice fields & local villages in Tam Coc & Trang An area.

For the best of this tour, it is our suggestion to start the trip early, firstly to Mua cave for a healthy morning trek on steps to conquer its peaks ( less crowded moment and in pleasant morning sun), then lunch in a local restaurant before a scenic boat ride to Thien Ha cave – the real paradise on earth.
