After breakfast, depart for the Perfume Pagoda (60 km, 2 hours driving). The Perfume Pagoda is one of the highlights of the Hanoi area and one of the most important religious sites in Buddhist Vietnam. Upon arrival, we board bamboo boats and row 1.5 hours on the Yen River, surrounded by mountains, to the Pagoda. On the way, we will visit Trinh Temple. We disembark at the foot of Huong Tich Mountain, and from there we hike to the top of the mountain 400 m away to visit the main pagoda. 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. You will have the chance to glide along scenic waterways and walk up steep mountain paths, visiting the pagodas and temples that were built into the limestone cliffs over the centuries. Return to Hanoi in the late afternoon.
