Thung Nai is located in Cao Phong district, Hoa Binh province and is one of the residences of the Muong people.
In the 80s of the last century, when the Da River hydroelectric plant began construction and was used to store water, this place turned into a giant reservoir, surrounded by undulating mountains. After busy days with work and noise in the city, people often come here to enjoy a bit of peaceful atmosphere with family and friends.
What season is beautiful in Thung Nai?
Each season the scenery here is beautiful in its own way, but according to travel experience, May - August is the most beautiful time. This is in the summer, the climate is quite cool and the air is also fresh.
If you visit on a full moon day, you can also admire the beauty of the moon reflecting on the surface of the Da River. If you go in the dry season, we also have the opportunity to visit Thac Bo Temple and Cave.
Unmissable experiences in Thung Nai
- Go swimming in Thung Nai Lake
Thung Nai has clear, pure blue water so you can see the bottom. It would be a pity if you come here without trying swimming in the lake even once.
After a busy week of work, this stream will have a healing effect on the spirit and help us forget the daily fatigue. However, do not let the relaxing experience lose its fun by forgetting to wear a life jacket, because although beautiful, the lake here is quite deep.
- Rowing boat to see the surrounding landscape
A favorite experience in Thung Nai for those who like gentle relaxing activities is rowing a boat. There is nothing like the feeling of letting go of the oars in the middle of this peaceful landscape. Although not as ancient as Trang An, this place still has something very unique, with hills occasionally rising above the water.
Those who have no experience in rowing can also rest assured because it is quite easy to do, and there are also local boatmen always ready to assist.
- Bathing in the fresh Trach stream
Suoi Trach beach is a top attraction that you should definitely add to your itinerary. The clear blue spring water and the natural surroundings, gentle and pure, this is where we can forget the pressures of life.

This place can be considered a wonderful isolated oasis for those who love to explore .
The most typical delicious dishes in Thung Nai
- Muong pig: Or many people will know it by another name, armpit pig, a local pig breed that often digs the ground to find food.

Muong people often prepare this delicious dish by grilling it with mac mat leaves and then arranging it on banana leaves.
- Free-range chicken: Thung Nai chicken lives in a mountainous environment, so the meat is firmer, chewier and more fragrant than plain chicken. Usually, the chef will cook the chicken to make porridge or grill it, both are delicious, when eating, diners can still feel the unique sweetness of the meat.
- Grilled fish from Da River: Da River is famous for fish such as black carp, catfish, and scad... with delicious meat.
