Exploring the Cham Towers of Binh Dinh: A Practical Guide for 2026

Quy Nhon is the main gateway to the Cham towers. In 2026, direct flights connect Quy Nhon with Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang multiple times daily. From Quy Nhon airport, the towers are a 20-40 minute drive by taxi, Grab, or motorbike. Motorbike rental (around 150,000 VND/day) offers the most flexibility for exploring multiple sites at your own pace.

The dry season from April to September is ideal for touring the Cham towers, with the least rainfall and manageable temperatures. Early mornings are recommended to avoid the midday heat, which can be intense in central Vietnam. The Cham Festival is held annually, but dates may change—check locally if you wish to attend.

The Twin Towers (Thap Doi) are located within Quy Nhon city, while Banh It Towers are about 15 km northwest. Both sites feature well-preserved red-brick towers with intricate Hindu carvings. Restoration is ongoing at some towers, so certain areas may be closed off. Entry is 60,000 VND per site for foreigners as of 2026.

Dress modestly—shoulders and knees should be covered. Photography is allowed, but drones require special permission from local authorities. Respect any roped-off or closed areas, as these may be under restoration. Local guides are available at main sites, but English skills vary; booking in advance can help ensure a more informative visit.

Bring water, sun protection, and cash for entrance fees. Some towers may have limited shade or facilities. Restoration schedules can affect access, so check recent updates on official tourism sites or with your accommodation. If you plan to attend the Cham Festival, confirm dates locally as the schedule can change.
