Real Ninh Binh with a local—bike, eat, and explore village life with Thanh
This 2D1N countryside stay is perfect if you’re looking to experience the real Ninh Binh — not the version polished for tourists, but the slow, soulful side that locals call home. Instead of staying in the usual busy spots like Tam Coc, you’ll be based in a peaceful village near Bai Dinh Pagoda, surrounded by rice paddies, quiet roads, and fresh air.What truly makes this special is your host, Thanh — a Ninh Binh local who’s spent over 15 years helping travellers connect with his home in a way that feels deeply personal. Thanh doesn’t run standard tours. He takes you through his village like a friend would — on bicycles, stopping by to chat with farmers, peeking into old houses, and sharing the stories behind temples and customs. His knowledge of the land, plants, animals, and village traditions runs deep, and no two trips are ever the same. He even adjusts plans based on the weather or your mood for the day.If you love travel that’s about people, not just places — and if you want to uncover the charm of Vietnamese village life with someone who truly lives it — this is your kind of adventure.What to ExpectStay in a cosy, family-run homestay with a peaceful garden and poolJoin Thanh for a countryside cycling tour through rice fields, local farms, and hidden templesVisit a vibrant local market and experience daily village life beyond the tourist trailExplore the magical Thien Ha (Galaxy) Cave by boat — a stunning mix of river and dry cave passagesTuck into delicious, home-cooked Vietnamese meals prepared by Thanh’s wifeSlow down, meet real people, and see rural Vietnam through a local’s eyesGood to KnowBiking is relaxed and family-friendly — mostly flat village trailsBring sunscreen, insect repellent, and comfortable walking shoes for day activitiesYou’ll be staying in a small local village — great mobile signal but more limited shops, so grab essentials beforehandDietary restrictions can be catered to – just let the host know in advanceAmenities/facilitiesSwimming pool (from March to October) to cool off after a day of exploringAir-conditioned rooms with private en-suite bathroomsWi-Fi available throughout the homestayFreshly prepared breakfast, lunch and dinnerFree tea, coffee, and bottled water in your roomFree Vietnamese bicycles for exploring the village
