Cao Bang is beautiful in every season, but each one has its own unique and captivating highlight.

If you visit during the Lunar New Year (Tet) period, you'll be treated to blooming peach blossoms and plum blossoms, just like in other parts of the Northeast and Northwest regions.

In October, you'll get to admire the stunning golden rice terraces at harvest time, with vast fields glowing under the autumn sun.

From around December to January, the maple trees in Trung Khanh change color, turning vibrant shades of red, yellow, and orange — creating scenes as picturesque and magical as autumn in Europe.

The least appealing time is probably the rainy season, around July and August, when heavy downpours can make trekking and outdoor activities more challenging.

Yes, definitely! This join-in adventure is perfectly suitable for solo travelers. Many of our guests join individually and end up making new friends around the campfire, during paddling, or on the hike. You'll be paired with others for shared tents (same-gender unless otherwise requested) or can upgrade to a single tent for an additional fee (subject to availability—please inquire when booking). Our professional guide and team ensure everyone feels included, safe, and supported throughout the trip—no prior companions needed. 

Deposit requirement to secure your booking, a 50% deposit of the total tour price is required at the time of registration.

Payment Methods:

• Bank transfer
• Credit/debit card via OnePay (secure online payment gateway)

Final Payment: The remaining 50% balance must be paid no later than 1 day before the departure date, using the same payment methods (bank transfer or OnePay).

Important note: Umove Adventure will only confirm your booking once the deposit has been received. You will receive a confirmation email with full details shortly after payment.

Umove Adventure does not organize pet-friendly tours as standard, due to the nature of the activities (SUP paddling on rivers and lakes, camping, group trekking, and shared transportation).

However, in exceptional cases and only for small, well-behaved pets, we may consider your request subject to the following strict conditions:

Unanimous consent from all other participants in the group must be obtained in advance.

You (the owner) take full responsibility for your pet’s behavior, safety, cleanliness, and any waste disposal throughout the tour.

The pet must not interfere with activities, other guests, or wildlife (e.g., no barking/disturbance during camping or paddling).

Additional requirements may apply (vaccination records, leash, carrier, etc.).

To request permission, please contact us as early as possible when booking. We will check with the group and confirm feasibility.

For the comfort and safety of all guests, we generally recommend leaving pets at home or arranging separate pet care.
