Weather and Climate, Best time to visit

In spring time from late January through March, there are days that the mountains at Trang An are covered in mist which makes it a mysterious charm.

There may be some typhoons hitting northern Vietnam between June – October which may cause rain for a couple of days each and visiting Trang An is still possible but not a good experience.

From mid November through January and sometimes into early February it is winter time in Ninh Binh. It is mostly dry with overcast skies and it could be very cold. Make sure you have enough warm clothes visiting Trang An as it is quite cool amid the mountains with strong winds.
