During the first day of the tour, you will see one of Vietnam’s most important pilgrimage sites, the Perfume Pagoda is a vast complex of Buddhist temples, grottoes, and shrines dotted around Huong Tich Mountain. The shrines lie amid a flooded valley of towering karts cliffs and lotus fields—a stunning backdrop that makes for some incredible photo opportunities.
Cruise along the scenic waterways of the Yen River aboard a traditional row boat, then arrive at the Perfume Pagoda, where you can hike between the cliff-side temples, or ride the cable car to the mountaintop Huong Tich Cave, home to the most impressive shrines. Most visitors choose to take a Perfume Pagoda tour from Hanoi, and many tours include hotel pickup, lunch, and entrance fees.
At 7.45am you will pick up at your hotel (located within the Hanoi Old Quarter only) or at LVP Travel Office in Hanoi and depart for the Perfume Pagoda. At 10am you will arrive at the Perfume Pagoda. After a scenic hour and a half boat ride along the Yen stream and a 2-hour trek, you reach the Huong Tich Cave, which houses the Pagoda of the Perfume Vestige. Next, you’ll visit the Thien Tru Pagoda – or Pagoda leading to Heaven – before stopping at a restaurant for lunch. At around 4.30pm the boat takes off back to Ben Duc. You will depart for Hanoi, arriving in the city around 7pm.
