ITINERARY
1st day: Ha Noi – Cho Ra – Ba Be – Camping Area

06:30 - Departing for Bac Kan. Along the way, we will stop for a break in Thai Nguyen.

12:00 - Having lunch in Cho Ra town.

13:00 - Boarding the vehicle to the Bo Luom boat dock. This is where we will start paddling SUP downstream along the Nang River to Puong Cave and Ba Be Lake. The Nang River is quite narrow with a strong current. The scenery along the river is diverse and majestic, with many sections running along steep cliffs and others opening up to narrow valleys or cornfields. The most attractive highlight is when we paddle through Puong Cave, a gigantic cave that the river flows through. With its strong current and us going downstream, we won't exert ourselves much despite the considerable paddling distance.

15:30 - After exiting Puong Cave, we will take a break on a small island in the river to enjoy Relax Time*, including fruits and cold drinks, amidst the beautiful natural scenery. We will continue paddling to the confluence of the Nang River and Ba Be Lake.

We will board a motorboat and head into the lake. In the summer, the boat will stop so we can enjoy swimming in the crystal-clear waters of Ba Be. Our stop today will be at the camping area, staying at right side of the lake and not far from the Pac Ngoi village. Upon arriving at the camping area, we will enjoy a welcome drink and receive our tents. After showering and resting, we will have dinner.

19:00 - Having dinner at the campsite. After a delicious dinner at the camping area, we will enjoy a joyful moment around the campfire with friends before going to sleep.

This afternoon, we will conquer the most beautiful and wildest stretch of the Nang River with its majestic high cliffs. After about an hour of paddling on the river, we will reach Dau Dang Waterfall. We will leave the SUPs at the dock and walk about 1 km to the waterfall. Take a break and take photos at Dau Dang Waterfall before returning to the dock.
