About this experience

The Perfume Pagoda, a revered Buddhist site near Hanoi, is a must-visit destination, especially vibrant during the spring pilgrimage season following the Vietnamese New Year. Nestled within a vast limestone cave, the pagoda is accessible only by a serene boat journey or a trek along picturesque mountain paths. This spiritual journey offers visitors the opportunity to glide through scenic waterways and explore a network of historic pagodas and temples, each rich with centuries-old architectural and cultural significance. Join us for an unforgettable experience of spiritual and natural beauty, as we immerse ourselves in the tranquil ambiance and breathtaking landscapes of this sacred region.

What to expect

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 here 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 or by foot, as there are no roads into the area. We will have the chance to glide along scenic waterways and walk up steep mountain paths visiting the pagodas and temples that were built in this area over the centuries
