The Perfume Pagoda is one of the highlights of the Hanoi area and one of the most important religious sites in Buddhist Vietnam. Every spring, after the Vietnamese New Year, thousands of Vietnamese pilgrims come to the pagoda to pray for all the health and prosperity they need to get them through the year.
The pagoda itself is situated in a huge cave built into limestone cliffs and can only be reached by boat as there are no roads. You glide along scenic waterways and walk up steep mountain paths, visiting the pagodas and temples built in this area over the centuries.

Departing Hanoi, we have a two hour drive through the picturesque countryside to the village of Duc, where we stop for some refreshments before boarding our boats. We are on the boat for a 1.5 hour ride along the scenic Yen river, surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs.
After the boat ride, we walk to the Thien Tru Pagoda (Heaven’s Kitchen) and the Perfume Cave and Pagoda - an hour walk in total. On our way back, we visit Giai Oan and Tuyet Son Pagodas. Lunch will be at one of the little food stalls near Thien Tru Pagoda.
After lunch, the boat will take us back to our bus for the drive back to Hanoi. We arrive in Hanoi around 18.00.
