What To Expect
Black Virgin Mountain
07:00 AM – Begin your journey with a hotel pick-up and drive northeast to Black Lady Mountain (Núi Bà Đen), the highest peak in Southern Vietnam at 986 meters. Cable Car Ride: Soar above lush forests, sparkling waterfalls, and mysterious caves on a modern cable car, taking in sweeping views of the mountain landscape. Temples & Caves: Explore sacred temples, peaceful pagodas, and hidden caves once home to Buddhist monks and nuns. The serene spiritual atmosphere blends beautifully with the natural scenery. Conquering Black Lady Mountain is not just an adventure but also a cultural and spiritual experience, offering breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable memories.
Cao Dai Temple
Next, visit the extraordinary Cao Dai Temple in Tay Ninh, often described as a “Walt Disney fantasia of the East.” Its exterior dazzles with bright colors, where multi-shaped dragons twist around columns and sacred symbols decorate every corner. Above the main entrance, the striking image of the all-seeing holy eye represents the unity of the Cao Dai faith. Inside, the temple is just as fascinating: statues of Jesus Christ, Buddha, and the Hindu god Brahma stand side by side, reflecting the religion’s unique blend of beliefs. The vibrant mix of colors, elaborate architecture, and spiritual atmosphere create a setting that feels both beautiful and surreal to Western visitors. A highlight not to be missed is the midday service, when hundreds of worshippers in white robes gather in prayer, offering a moving and unforgettable glimpse into the rituals of this remarkable faith.

5.00The experience itself was amazing, when you are on top of the mountain it does feel unreal. Everything organised very well, the only thing I would prefer if the tour guide would be more informative with additional information, tips and some facts etc. For example on the mountain there is statue of Buddha and you have like 5min fountain show, which was amazing, but we were lucky, as we got there on time just by accident without knowing about it. But in general the trip was worth it.

5.00From pre-pick up information to pick up and drop off could not have been clearer and smoother. Khan our tour guide was exceptional in his knowledge and information conveyed. Tours are quick fire to get through the itinerary but Khan enabled plenty of time for photos and questions. Our tour was diverse in age and nationalities and all enjoyed. Would highly recommend.
