Na Hang is a mountainous district located within the Na Hang and Lam Binh districts of Tuyen Quang province. It's situated about 100km away from the city center. This place boasts diverse natural landscapes with majestic mountains and vast lakes. Due to this, tourism in Na Hang has been growing, making it one of the most attractive destinations in Tuyen Quang. To the best of our knowledge, only a limited number of travel agencies include this remarkable destination in their offerings. As a travel agency focused on tailor-made experiences, we take great pleasure in unveiling the undiscovered beauty of Northern Vietnam for your upcoming adventure.

Covering an area of up to 15,000 hectares, with 8,000 hectares of water bodies, this place has earned the beautiful nickname "Ha Long on Land" because of the picturesque scenery – thousands of shades of green from the rivers, streams, grass, and rocks. Each time of the year has its own unique beauty. Particularly, in a single day, visitors can experience the climate of all four seasons. The mornings are cool and fresh like spring, afternoons are warm and sunny like summer, evenings are cool with a hint of autumn breeze, and nights turn chilly with the true cold of winter.

When is the best time to visit Na Hang?

Influenced by the tropical monsoon climate, Na Hang's weather is divided into two main seasons: summer and winter. Summer lasts from April to September, characterized by hot, humid weather and frequent rain. Winter begins from October to March of the following year, featuring cold, dry weather with less rain and more frost. Generally, each season offers a distinct landscape, so apart from the rainy season in Northern Vietnam, you can visit Na Hang at any time for its beauty.

February - April: Taking place after Tet Nguyen Dan (Lunar New Year), this period emerges as one of Na Hang's most vibrant festival seasons. During these months, you can actively partake in the festivities of the local ethnic communities and relish the sight of the mountains.

May - September: These months offer an optimal time for nature enthusiasts keen on discovering Na Hang's terrain. With the arrival of the rainy season, lakes and waterfalls thrive, augmenting the romantic ambiance of Na Hang. If you're planning a trip in July or August, it's recommended to stay updated on weather forecasts as these months mark the peak of the rainy season.

November - January: Acknowledged as the prime window for a Na Hang visit, these months present a cooler, drier climate. The landscape during this period is adorned with white frost, draping the mountains and hills, creating an atmosphere that's both tranquil and poetic. Ensuring you're equipped with warm clothing is essential for your well-being.

Additionally, there's another milestone to experience in Na Hang, which is the ripe rice season. Each year, the rice season falls on different dates, but usually in September according to the Gregorian calendar.
