New Year group pilgrimage in southern Vietnam: vehicle, departure time and itinerary

Renting a vehicle for a New Year group pilgrimage in southern Vietnam: vehicle size, departure time and multi-stop itineraries. In the first days of spring, many families, associations and Buddhist groups visit sacred places such as Ba Den Mountain in Tay Ninh, the Ba Chua Xu Temple on Sam Mountain in Chau Doc, or the pagodas of Binh Duong. For a large group, the right vehicle and a planned itinerary keep the pilgrimage calm and complete.

Choosing a vehicle for your group

Leave a few seats free for offerings and water, and so elderly members can sit comfortably.

Early, punctual departures

Around the New Year, major pilgrimage sites get busy from the morning. Leaving early avoids peak traffic and gives more time at each place. The driver arrives before the agreed time; you only need to confirm the passenger list and meeting point the day before.

Several stops in one trip

• Tay Ninh in a day: Ba Den Mountain with the Cao Dai Holy See. See HCMC to Tay Ninh and Ba Den Mountain in a day.
• Chau Doc: the Ba Chua Xu Temple on Sam Mountain; it is far, so many groups stay one night. See Chau Doc and Ba Chua Xu Temple itinerary.
• Binh Duong and nearby: several pagodas in one day. See 10 pagodas of Binh Duong and Binh Phuoc.

Send your list of places in order of priority; we will plan a sensible route and quote for that exact itinerary.

Your driver waits at every stop

The driver waits while the group worships, has lunch and looks around, then takes everyone to the next stop. Chauffeur prices include fuel and tolls, the fleet is 2022–2025 models, and every quote gets 10% off.

Respecting sacred places

• Dress modestly and speak softly in the main hall and shrines.
• Prepare vegetarian offerings such as flowers, fruit and incense in advance.
• Keep the vehicle and the sites clean.
