Updated on: 09/04/2026

The best time to travel to Ninh Binh is autumn, which is also the most beautiful season in northern Vietnam, with cool temperatures and no rain... these are wonderful conditions for tourists to come to Ninh Binh to cycle, hike, climb Mua cave mountains, and take boat trips at the Tam Coc, Trang An...

What is the best time to go to Ninh Binh? 

Since Ninh Binh is in Northern Vietnam, it has 4 distinct seasons. It’s an all-year destination, but the experience can differ according to the time of year you visit.

December to February is winter and low season. It can be chilly and even a bit cold with overcast weather, but it’s usually quite dry. It’s a great time to visit if you want less crowds and being active without overheating.

Spring is from March to May/June and is one of the most favourable times to visit. Come before the year’s first rice harvest season, in late May – beginning of June, to witness the rice fields at its most radiant. Temperatures are getting warmer and it’s still dry and nice to be out.

Rainy season comes with summer from June – August, and while it’s usually not very wet until mid-July it certainly is humid and hot. If you visit this time of year, make sure to wake up early! This is not the best time for admiring the rice fields, but instead you get lotus flower season.

Autumn, from September through November, is time for the second rice harvest and a favourable time to visit. Temperatures and humidity decreases, making it easier to be active outside. For the iconic golden rice fields, come in the second half of September / beginning of October.
