8.00am: Our driver & tour guide will pick you up at the hotel and start our 50km journey to the western part of Hanoi and 12km curving road of thick forest ,we will get the protected area of Ba Vi National Park.

10.00am: Arrive in Ba Vi park, we will trek 45 minutes steps by steps into the jungle and reach the King Summit, the highest peak (at 1296 metters) in Ba Vi Mountain ranges.It is great to have an impressive outlook of surrounding areas with majestic lower mountains, layers of vegetations, curving Da river & immense Red River delta.It is like a vivid picture that you can catch into your view if the weather is clear.More interestingly,you can pay a visit to a beautiful temple on the top of the peak, dedicated to Uncle Ho, the great national hero of Vietnam.It is said that when President Ho Chi Minh was still alive, he wished to be cremated when he passed away.The ashes would be divided into three parts evenly shared between the north, the centre and the south of Vietnam.The peak of Ba Vi mountain was said as the place that Uncle Ho wished his ashes to be sprayed out in the north of Vietnam.That was why our government decided to build a temple to worship our great father there in 1999. You can pay a homage to the nation's great leader, relax with fresh mountain air and learn about his revolution cause for our nation’s independence and freedom.

Continue another hike to conquer Tan Vien summit at 1226 metters high.This route is steeper with more steps and we reach to the temples worshiping the God of Mountain- Tan Vien and the mother goddesses – the native belief of Vietnamese culture.You can pray, make your own wishes and open you view to magnificent landscapes around. How rewarding the trek brings you all!

Back to the meeting point, get our driver picked up and drive down to the height of 600 metters for an interesting exploration of French Ruins ( including Church, vallas & fortress) which was constructed by French in early 20th century.French ruins were left in oblivion for long, covered with mosses but attracts a huge numbers of couples coming for their wedding photos, and travellers loving to get sense of French vestiges left behind.
