Cao Bang is in the Northeast of Vietnam, the provincial capital city and namesake is 280km from Hanoi.

Travel Guide to Things to do in Cao Bang

Cao Bang is off the tourist track by far, probably due to high transfer costs. But those who love pristine nature may find a trip of dream in Cao Bang. Let’s find out the major highlights of what to see and things to do in Cao Bang:

1/ Trekking in Cao Bang

Cao Bang is one of the few last places in Vietnam which are not crowded by trekkers. There is no doubt that it’s beautiful, but that the lack of cheap transport to this area makes it less visited. You can trek for 1 to 6 days in Cao Bang. Accommodations on the treks are homestay at local ethnic families.

2/ Homestaying in Cao Bang

Hotels and guesthouses are available in Cao Bang City and most towns in the province. Alternatively you can choose to stay with local ethnic families in certain villages for much cheaper costs.

3/ Cycling in Cao Bang

Cao Bang in Vietnamese means “High Plain”. Yes, it is high on altitude but it’s mostly flat except for the areas connecting the province with the low lands that have steep inclines. Cycling in Cao Bang is like you weave your way amid high mountain peaks on mostly flat roads. Be ware the landscape is spectacular!

4/ Motorcycling in Cao Bang

It’s a fun-filled adventure and it is cheap to travel by motorbike or scooter to Cao Bang. Besides, you can explore less seen corners of the land. But a motorbike adventure to Cao Bang is not for everyone. The mountainous roads from the lowlands to Cao Bang require good riding experience and good care!
