Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Arrival at Hanoi Airport
Welcome to Ha Noi!
  • We will meet you upon your arrival at Ha Noi’s airport and transfer you to Ha Long Bay, a renowned UNESCO World Heritage Site.
  • Stop for lunch en route and arrive at your hotel in the afternoon.
  • Overnight in Halong.
Ha Long Bay, located in the Gulf of Tonkin, covers an area of 1500 square km. With more than a thousand limestone peaks soaring from its crystalline emerald water, this area is one of the natural wonders of Vietnam and is now one of four World Heritage-listed sites in Vietnam. The tiny islands are dotted with innumerable beaches and grottoes created by the wind and the waves that make an excellent backdrop for swimming or just lazing about on the boat deck.
  • Start the day by enjoying a relaxing full-day private boat excursion aboard a traditional Chinese-style wooden junk.
  • Sail by rock islets such as Stone Dog and Incense Burner (Dinh Huong), and stop to explore Thien Cung or Sung Sot Caves to view the beauty of the surreal and subterranean world of stalagmites and stalactites.
  • Anchor at Titop Beach and relax in the sun or enjoy a swim.
  • A wonderful seafood lunch is included and will be served during your trip to this mystical bay.
  • Overnight in Ha Long.
  • Depart for a drive to the harbour city of Hai Phong.
  • Enjoy a short tour of the city through Du Hang Temple and contemplate its Buddha statues, the Grand Catholic Cathedral, and the large fish and colourful flower markets.
  • Continue the drive to Ha Noi with lunch en route at a local restaurant.
  • Arrive at your hotel in the afternoon and be free for the rest of the day to relax or explore this dynamic city on your own.
  • In the evening, you will have a chance to watch one of the delightful water puppet shows.
  • This unique art form was created in the 10th century and came from northern Vietnam's Red River delta region.
  • Using the water’s surface as the stage, puppeteers stand behind a curtain and control the puppets using long bamboo rods and a string mechanism hidden beneath the water surface. A “Cheo” (a form of opera) is sung simultaneously as the puppets are controlled to tell stories to the audience.
  • Overnight in Ha Noi.
  • Blending the modern with the mystery and charm of the past centuries, Ha Noi offers an air of elegance that harmonizes with nature. Your sightseeing tour in the morning begins with a visit to Van Mieu (also known as the Temple of Literature). The temple dates back to 1070 and is dedicated to the cult of Confucius. Note the peaceful series of walled courtyards and graceful gateways; this is one of the best examples of traditional Vietnamese architecture.
  • Next, you will continue the tour by going to Ho Chi Minh Memorial Complex1 - containing a museum and Ho Chi Minh's final resting place and Ho Chi Minh's Stilt House - a simple two-room dwelling where he lived 1958 until his final days in 1969.
  • You can also see One Pillar Pagoda, or Chua Mot Cot nearby, which was made from a single large tree trunk and originally constructed in 1040, then later rebuilt after being destroyed by the French in 1954.
  • Afterwards, drive to West Lake in the city's centre to see the beautiful 6th century Tran Quoc Temple.
  • At midday, take a break to enjoy a famous Ha Noi savoury speciality - “Pho”.
  • In the afternoon, we will pay a visit to the infamous Hoa Lo prison, built by the French colonists to house Vietnamese political prisoners. During the Vietnam War, it was used by northern Vietnam and dubbed "Ha Noi Hilton" by American prisoners of war. Today, only part of the prison still exists as a history museum.
  • Next, we will tour Ha Noi’s old quarter - the oldest continuously developed area of Vietnam, featuring more than 1000 years of history. Explore the network of narrow alleyways known as “The 36 Streets.” This is a wonderful place to watch the local life and peruse items from fabrics to crafts to exotic medicines. Each street was named to reflect a specialized trade in the old time, such as silk, jewellery, etc. Take a break at a local coffee shop to experience Ha Noi in the past time while sipping your coffee and watching life in the neighbourhood.
  • Your tour ends with a visit to the charming Buddhist Temple.
  • Transfer to the airport for your onward departure flight.
  • Tour ends.

What's Good: I'm delighted to share my exceptional experience with Welgreen Kerala Holidays, expertly managed by Mr. George. Our customized tour package exceeded our expectations, blending comf (Read More)ort and memorable experiences. Hotel selections were impressive: Hotel Sea View at Kanyakumari offered breathtaking sunrise views and delicious food. Hotel Germanus in Madurai, Hotel Soma Palmshore in Kovalam, and Hotel Taika in Rameshwaram provided pleasant stays with good food and courteous staff. The houseboat experience was outstanding, with mouth-watering local cuisine, including an unforgettable fish fry. However, hot water for bathing was not available. Some valuable tips for future travelers: verify temple timings and dress code regulations in advance to optimize your itinerary. Ladies can find lovely, affordable sarees and dress materials. Engaging local drivers or guides can also enhance your experience. Mr. George and Welgreen Kerala Holidays deserve 100% marks for crafting an unforgettable trip with thoughtful hotel choices and a well-planned itinerary.

What's Not Good: The houseboat experience was outstanding, with mouth-watering local cuisine, including an unforgettable fish fry. However, hot water for bathing was not available and no more activities at the shore. Rather we would have preferred to stay in a hotel and take long ride of houseboat in the afternoon to late evening would have better.

Every part of travel good. The approach road to hotel Vagamon Vagashore at Vagamon and room service at Thekkady hotel named Kumly gate were poor .

(Written on 16 Nov, 2024)

Resort and hotel suggestions to suit my budget and strategically selected closer to places of interest was truly 5 star service from the agent. My solo trip was made safe and comfortable. Great sugge (Read More)stions were made to choose places to visit to make the trip fun, enjoyable and memorable. This awesome trip in a very long time was fun and refreshing. The paradise in Kerala will transcend your soul to haven. People are welcoming and friendly. I recommend Varkala tranquil beeches and Kovalam backwaters for the ultimate fun experience. Gods Own Country’s Kitchen is recommended for some great food and live music on the Varkala cliff point. If south temple architecture peeks your interest, then there are a few gems from ancient times hidden here to explore maintaining sanctity and faith in true form. Solo travellers pay couples rate which can be heavy on the purse. South India need to warm up to the idea that solo traveller numbers are increasing, male and female alike and in all age groups. Not only the cost of travel but people’s outlook need to change. Most of the temples here are only for believers in faith. Kanyakumari was crowded during the Diwali break. The seashore here is only to soak in the view. Thiruvananthapuram Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple darshan was divine however fleeting it maybe, but the mandapa which adorns the beautiful sculptures is out of bounds for devotees. The Garbhagudi could be well lit, so the devotees can properly catch a glimpse of the lord and be blessed. Since architecture is out of bounds recommend special entry for swift darshan.
