Planning a getaway to Nomia Garden Retreats by the peaceful Trị An Lake, but still wondering how to get there, how long it takes, and whether the roads are easy to travel?
This guide will give you a clearer picture to help you choose the best mode of transportation, whether you’re going solo, with family, or with a group of friends.
Estimated travel time from Ho Chi Minh City to Nomia: 2–2.5 hours
Distance: ~90–100km, depending on your starting point
1. Motorbike: For those who love the open road
If you enjoy the freedom of the road, love stopping along the way to breathe in the countryside or snap a few rustic photos, a motorbike ride is your ideal choice.
Travel time: 2–2.5 hours
Suggested route: HCMC → Hanoi Highway → National Route 1A → Turn onto Road 761 (through Mã Đà forest) → Bến Nôm 2 Hamlet, Phú Cường Commune, Định Quán District → Nomia Garden Retreats
📝 Note: The route through Mã Đà forest is scenic but quite remote, make sure to travel during daylight, check your vehicle beforehand, and download offline Google Maps just in case.
2. Private Car: Comfortable and Flexible
A popular choice for families or small groups of friends.
Travel time: About 2 hours
Advantages: Fast, safe, flexible schedule, and allows stops along the way (restaurants, gas stations, etc.)
Suggested route: Take the HCMC – Long Thành – Dầu Giây Expressway or follow National Route 1A and turn onto Road 761 toward Trị An Lake
📝 Note: Some smaller roads near the lake can be narrow—drive carefully and watch for signs to Nomia.
3. Coach Bus: Affordable and Convenient
The coach bus is a smart choice if you’re looking for a budget-friendly, no-driving-needed option. One reputable company on the HCMC – Đồng Nai route is A Thảo Bus.
Ticket price: ~100,000 VND/person
📝 Note: Once you arrive in Suối Nho, take a taxi or motorbike taxi to Nomia Garden Retreats. Contact us in advance for help arranging pickup if needed.
4. Rideshare or Contracted Car: Easy and Door-to-Door
If you don’t want to drive or ride a motorbike, booking a private ride is a great alternative.
Grab/Taxi: Easy to book from central HCMC. Prices range from 900,000–1,300,000 VND/one way depending on location and time.
Contracted car: Ideal for groups of 3–7 people. You can book a round-trip ride with a service provider, some even offer door-to-door pickup.
📝 Tip: Book several days in advance if you travel on weekends or holidays to avoid high prices or limited availability.
