07:45 – 08:15 AM: We’ll pick you up from your hotel and take a scenic two-hour drive through the countryside to Duc village. From there, we hop on a small boat for a one-hour ride up the Yen stream to Thien Tru pagoda, gliding past rice paddies, temples, and lush landscapes. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to stop and explore some of these temples before we make our way to Huong Tich cave.

You can choose to hike up or take a cable car to the Perfume Pagoda at the mountain’s summit, where you’ll be treated to breathtaking views and a deeper understanding of Vietnamese Buddhist traditions.

Optional: Cable car only 10 minutes to Huong Tich cave (the main Perfume pagoda).

Afterward, we’ll head down for lunch at a local restaurant. Then it’s back to Thien Tru quay to admire more stunning sculptures, capture some photos, offer prayers, and take another boat ride to the dock. We’ll conclude the day with a drive back to your Hanoi hotel, arriving around 06:00 PM.
