Nha Trang, Phan Rang-Thap Cham

Leave Nha Trang’s waterfront for a day of Cham heritage around Phan Rang. Follow the details in a red-brick tower, look closely at the curves of a hand-shaped clay vessel, and pause for lunch beside the coast at Ca Na. This private day trip brings historic monuments and living craft traditions into the same journey.
The programme links Po Nagar, Bau Truc, Po Klong Garai and Po Rome, with My Nghiep weaving village if time allows. It suits travellers who enjoy architecture, local crafts and a cultural day beyond the resort strip, while allowing a full day for the road journey from Nha Trang.

Begin with Po Nagar in Nha Trang before travelling south towards the Phan Rang area. At Po Klong Garai, the red-brick towers rise above Trau Hill; their setting gives you room to appreciate the shape, carving and presence of Cham architecture. Po Rome adds another important site to the day’s exploration.
These places remain connected to the religious life of the Cham community. Your guide introduces the sites and their context, while visits follow the access and worship arrangements on the day.
At Bau Truc, discover a craft built around the maker’s hands and movement rather than a potter’s wheel. Unglazed pots, vessels and decorative pieces reflect a tradition passed through the community. The art of pottery-making of the Cham people was inscribed on UNESCO’s Urgent Safeguarding List in 2022.
If the day allows, continue to My Nghiep, known for colourful Cham brocade weaving. Look for the patterns and textures in the textiles and ask your guide about their place in local life. Specific demonstrations and hands-on workshops depend on what is arranged for your visit.
A stop at Ca Na Beach brings a change of pace between the cultural visits. Enjoy one included local lunch and time beside the sea. There may be an opportunity to relax or swim when the conditions and schedule allow; the beach break is part of the day rather than a separate beach-resort stay.
Private air-conditioned road transport, a local English-speaking guide, the stated entrance fees, water on the vehicle and one lunch are included. The itinerary aims to return to Nha Trang at around 17:00; your confirmed pick-up time and the final order of visits are arranged for your departure.
