Discover Ninh Binh
TOUCH THE HERITAGE AND ESSENCE OF NINH BINH
From your very first steps beyond Aravinda’s doorstep to a journey through the finest heritage and natural wonders of Ninh Binh.
THUNG NHAM
About 0.3 mi (500 m) from Aravinda
The ecosystem Aravinda calls home. Thung Nham opens onto a vivid canvas of nature: the largest bird garden in northern Vietnam, enchanting caves such as Hang But (Buddha Cave) and Dong Vai Troi, and flower fields in bloom through every season. It is the nearest discovery, right on the resort’s doorstep.
BICH DONG PAGODA
About 0.6–1.2 mi (1–2 km) from Aravinda
An ancient pagoda set against a limestone cliff, long called the “Second Finest Grotto of the Southern Heavens” (Nam Thien De Nhi Dong). A quiet, sacred place of moss-green rock, and the closest spiritual stop from Aravinda.
TAM COC – THUNG NANG
About 2–2.5 mi (3–4 km) from Aravinda
Often called “Ha Long Bay on land,” Tam Coc is known for the Ngo Dong River winding through three limestone caves. Close by, Thung Nang is a quieter counterpart with fewer visitors, the same mountain scenery, and a far more unhurried pace.
TRANG AN
About 3 mi (5 km) from Aravinda
A UNESCO-recognized mixed World Heritage site, with a network of water caves and limestone valleys that hold traces of human presence for more than 30,000 years. Each bend of the river is a slice of untouched mountain and forest.
ROYAL GOLF COURSE
About 7 mi (11–12 km) from Aravinda
Designed by Jack Nicklaus Jr., an 18-hole course set among green hills and the scenic Yen Thang Lake. A destination for golfers who love a challenge in peaceful surroundings.
VAN LONG
About 11 mi (18 km) from Aravinda
The largest wetland in the Red River Delta and home to the rare Delacour’s langur. A gentle boat ride across still water that mirrors the limestone cliffs.
CUC PHUONG NATIONAL PARK
About 22–28 mi (35–45 km) from Aravinda
Vietnam’s first national park, with a primary forest ecosystem millions of years old and the Endangered Primate Rescue Center. A complete destination for a day spent exploring ancient forest.
