Description

Start your day with pickup from hotels in central District 1 or a meeting point (our SST Travel Office), then travel to Tay Ninh Province, about 2–3 hours away. Upon arrival, visit Ba Den Mountain, a well-known spiritual site surrounded by natural scenery. You’ll have time to explore the area at the base, or choose to take the cable car to the summit for panoramic views (cable car ticket is optional and not included unless included in your selected package). Please note that time at the mountain may vary depending on the overall schedule. After your visit, enjoy a Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant before continuing to Cao Dai Temple. This unique religious site blends elements of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Christianity. Your guide will share insights into the Cao Dai religion, and if you arrive around 12:00 PM, you may have the chance to observe the daily prayer ceremony. In the afternoon, relax on the return journey to Ho Chi Minh City with drop-off at your hotel or a central meeting point. Please note: The itinerary may be adjusted depending on traffic, weather, and the day’s schedule, but all main attractions will still be included. There is 1 rest stop during the trip (on the way from Ho Chi Minh to Tay Ninh) for restroom or a light breakfast.
