Instead of taking a bus or taxi, choosing the train for the journey from Nha Trang to Thap Cham (Ninh Thuan) will leave you with unforgettable memories. It is not just a mode of transport, but a part of the exploration journey itself.
Why should you try taking the train at least once?
From the train window, you will see the landscape transition from the bustling life of the coastal city of Nha Trang to the sun-drenched, windy spaces, lush green vineyards, and the iconic mountain ranges of Ninh Thuan. This is a perspective you cannot get while driving on the national highway.
Things to prepare when traveling by train
-
Book tickets early: Popular time slots (usually in the morning) often sell out quickly. Please visit the railway industry's website to book your tickets online.
-
Luggage: Trains allow for quite comfortable luggage transport, but make sure to pack neatly to make moving on and off the train easier.
-
Connecting transportation: When arriving at Thap Cham station, have your transportation to your hotel or next destination arranged in advance, as the area around the station can sometimes be harder to book ride-hailing services than in the city center.
Practical experience
Taking the train is best suited for groups of friends or families who want to chat and have light snacks together on board. A small note is that train arrival times may not be as precise as flights, so please be flexible with your subsequent schedules.
Quick checklist:
-
Check the train schedule on the official Vietnam Railways website.
-
Bring light snacks and drinks for the trip.
-
Choose a seat near the window for the best view.
-
Book a taxi or motorbike taxi in advance at Thap Cham station to manage your pickup and drop-off.
