From Hanoi: Perfume Pagoda, Yen Stream Boat Trip, Huong Tich Cave

Leave Hanoi’s lively streets behind for a day of peaceful waterways, mountain scenery, and sacred discoveries at the Perfume Pagoda complex. Travel through the northern countryside before boarding a traditional sampan for a gentle journey along Yen Stream, where limestone mountains and green riverbanks frame the water. Begin your cultural exploration at Den Trinh Temple, then discover Thien Tru Pagoda, a beautiful Buddhist sanctuary surrounded by forested slopes. Enjoy a Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant before taking a scenic cable car ride above the valley. Continue to Huong Tich Cave, where natural rock formations and Buddhist shrines create an extraordinary place of worship inside the mountain. Hear the stories behind this pilgrimage destination and take time to appreciate its distinctive atmosphere. With a return cable car ride, another peaceful boat journey, and transport back to Hanoi, this experience brings together nature, culture, and memorable views in one rewarding day
