Weather and Climate, Best time to visit

In spring time from late January through March, the landscape at Thung Nang is often shrouded in mist which makes the beauty mysterious and charming!

April is in between spring and summer, and the temperatures are very pleasant.

From May through August, it is summer in Ninh Binh and Thung Nang. The temperatures are hot and the air is humid. It is strong sunshine mostly.

It is autumn from mid August through October and the temperatures are very pleasant at Thung Nang. It is rice season from late August through October and the landscape in Outer Thung Nang is just scenic!

There may be some typhoons hitting northern Vietnam between June – October which may cause rain for a couple of days each, and visiting Thung Nang is still possible but not recommended.

From mid November through January it is winter time and having a boat trip at Thung Nang may be cold due to strong winds. The landscape is less attractive because there is a lack of green colors from rice fields and from the reeds at Thung Nang.

1/ Rivers, Mountains, Underwater Caves

Visiting Thung Nang most visitors take a rowing boat trip for 2 hours traveling on the river, on the lake… There are mountains including Nui Coc, Nui Ba Doi, Nui Mang, Nui Vang,.. to visit on the boat trip.
