Your holiday idea
Combine Hanoi's street life with Ninh Binh's limestone countryside and a carefully chosen bay experience. This six-night Northern Vietnam proposal leaves time for each area rather than racing between distant ends of the country. The bay component can be a day trip or an overnight option depending on your preference and budget.
A suggested route
Hanoi → Ninh Binh → Bay area → Hanoi. The day-by-day plan below is a starting point and can be adjusted to your dates and pace.
Plan before you travel
Cruise route, cabin, boarding point, meals and transfers vary by operator and must be specified in writing. Bay trips depend on weather and authority clearance. Current entry requirements and any travel insurance remain separate unless expressly quoted.
Your departure plan
This is an India-origin planning idea from Kolkata. Your departure city can be changed when we prepare the custom quote. Flights and onward travel are separate unless expressly included in your confirmation.
Make it yours
Share your dates, traveller ages, preferred stay style and budget with TripSarathi. We will prepare a custom quote. Accommodation, transport, meals, tickets and optional experiences are included only when expressly listed in your final written confirmation. Availability, final price and booking conditions must be confirmed before payment; an enquiry reserves no inventory.

Your travel dates and duration
This suggested itinerary is 7 days / 6 nights. Share your preferred dates or travel month, arrival/departure point and group size so the team can check a workable custom plan. Travel and transfer time is part of the outline. This is not a scheduled group departure, and no seat or room is held until the selected arrangements are confirmed in writing.
Review your personalised quote
This page is a suggested custom holiday. Ask for a written quote showing the selected travel dates, traveller names and ages, route, accommodation, room occupancy, transport, meals, sightseeing, taxes, total amount and booking conditions. An enquiry does not reserve rooms, tickets, vehicles or seats.
Accommodation, rooms and meals
The property name, room category, occupancy, meal plan and check-in/check-out arrangements are those stated in your final confirmation. Early check-in, late checkout, adjoining rooms and other special requests depend on availability and may involve a separately quoted charge. Destination artwork does not identify a booked hotel or room.
Transfers, sightseeing and optional experiences
Pickup/drop points, transfer type, vehicle arrangements, guide services, admission tickets and included meals must be listed in the written quote. Suggested visits and optional experiences are not reserved merely because they appear in the itinerary. Local opening hours, access, traffic and weather can affect the workable order of the day.
Payment and booking confirmation
Review the payment schedule, due dates, accepted payment method and availability conditions in your written quote before paying. Follow the verified booking instructions shared by TripSarathi and retain the confirmation and receipts. No online payment or automatic reservation is created by this enquiry form.
Changes, cancellation and refunds
Contact TripSarathi with your booking reference and the service you want to change or cancel, and request acknowledgement. Availability, revised prices, cancellation charges and refundable amounts depend on the specific supplier and service terms accepted for your booking. Ask for those conditions before payment. A request, supplier approval and a completed refund are separate stages; no standard percentage or refund deadline is promised on this page.
Documents, permits and participation needs
Check the travel-document, visa and permit requirements relevant to your nationality, destination and dates before booking. Tell the team about traveller ages, mobility needs and other requirements that affect the route. Optional water, snow, walking and adventure experiences require their own availability, operating and suitability checks.
Destination-specific planning notes
Cruise route, cabin, boarding point, meals and transfers vary by operator and must be specified in writing. Bay trips depend on weather and authority clearance. Current entry requirements and any travel insurance remain separate unless expressly quoted.
