Itinerary

  • Ninh Binh has a humid subtropical climate with warm, wet summers and cooler, drier winters. The most comfortable months are typically March to May and September to November, when the weather is mild and landscapes are at their greenest. Summer from June to August is hotter and more humid, with occasional heavy rain that can affect cycling and outdoor sightseeing. Winter is cooler and often dry, making it good for hiking and boat trips, though mornings can be misty. For custom itineraries, the two shoulder seasons offer the most balanced conditions for exploring caves, temples and rice valleys.
