A beautiful and mystical experience awaits the traveler who is willing to walk on a path of stones which have been traversed for thousands of years. Arriving at this path by boat, having drifted along a stream bordered by rice fields, grass and occasional temples, a visitor may climb up to the main pagoda set in a huge grotto.

Perfume Pagoda is located about 40 miles to the southwest of Hanoi. Travelers can visit this place within a day or more. The peak season of Perfume Pagoda is in February and March (right after Tet Holiday). This is spring time in Vietnam.

Legends and miracles surround the stalactites and stalagmites which have become small shrines. The mysteries of the breathtakingly beautiful surroundings make this visit to sacred temples an unforgettable experience.
