Travel Guide to Tam Coc, Ninh Binh
Best time to visit
When it is the rice season, you’ll have your breath taken away getting absorbed in the beautifully smooth colors of the countryside of Tam Coc. When the rice ripens and the vast areas of rice fields turn into golden colors against the backdrop of the green limestone mountains. This time you’ll get great photography of Ninh Binh.
The best time to travel to Tam Coc is early June and late September when the rice is about to be harvested. But if you come at other times of the year, you’ll get lovely photos of Ninh Binh anyway.
