Truc Lam Buddhist Monastery

It’s a very nice monastery complex, not stunning like other ones but perfect for a peaceful and relaxing walk surrounded by flowers and nature, it’s worth a visit.

Like any other monastery the entrance is free of charge and there’s a free motorbike parking.

Dress properly because it’s a spiritual place.

Beautiful pagoda complex. You can reach it by cable car or by road. The scenery on the road is beautiful. The gardens surrounding the monastery are so beautiful and impressive, with so many varieties of flowers and very well maintained and clean. Huge potential for photos. From there it's a very nice walk to the pond and then you can also walk through the pine forest towards the lake which I totally recommend. The access is free and appropriate clothes are requested.

Truc Lam Buddhist Monastery, a popular tourist destination, offers an unexpectedly tranquil and harmonious experience amidst the hustle of thousands of visitors.

The most striking aspect for me was the sense of peace and inner harmony that envelops you like a magical dome upon entering. The gardens are incredibly beautiful, well-maintained, and vibrant, while the buildings are clean and equally well-kept.

Despite being relatively young at just 30 years old, the monastery has already earned a reputation as a place of serenity. For those interested, there is an opportunity to stay and live as a monk, with a separate block exclusively for monks and not open to visitors. The monastery also boasts a spectacular view over a large expanse of a lake.

I highly recommend visiting Truc Lam Buddhist Monastery for a serene and soul-soothing experience.

The way up there was very comfortable and cheap through the 🚠 cable car. The view was fantastic all the way and the walk to the monastery was really nice. Amazing gardens around that help to calm down from the heat that can be a bit uncomfortable.
The space itself is holy. With a lot of people but still the holy feeling remains

Absolutely beautiful! I took the cable car up. Gardens are amazing.

Visited this monastery via the cable car. Wonderful, peaceful temple. Lots of tourists. Beautifully looked after gardens with a stunning array of Bonsai trees. Take a walk down to the lake, about 5 mins. You can do a boat trip, but we didn't bother. We'll worth a visit. I'd fet here via the cable car as that's an experience in its self.

I found this place completely by accident after I visited the Datanla Waterfall, and was walking a couple of kilometres bc I couldn't get as Grab bike to take my booking.

What a BEAUTIFUL and serene place! I was entranced by the peace and harmony of its buildings and gardens. I highly recommend people to visit this temple and be enfolded in its tranquility.

100% Worth to visit. The Truc Lam Buddhist Temple is a Zen monastery located in Da Lat, Vietnam that was founded in 1994. It is situated on a hill overlooking Tuyen Lam Lake and offers a peaceful and scenic environment for visitors to meditate and reflect. The temple has several buildings, including a main hall where visitors can offer incense and prayers, a meditation hall, and a library. it is also nice for its beautiful gardens and ornamental plants.

Absolutely breathtaking!
Take the cable car first and ride down the beautiful scenery and then walk the short way to the monastery!
An hour before closing is perfect if you don’t wanna be caught in the heat.
There are plenty of tables for a picnic aswell

A well kept and clean Zen monastery.
Free entry to monastery. Did not try the cable car.
This place is packed with local tourists. Be careful when driving here.
Can visit the many well manicured gardens and temple halls. Did not go to the boating area as it is crowded.

Amazing gardens and bonsais
Beautiful place.
The Glass garden under the cable car was stunning.

Worth a visit also for the flowers, unfortunately there's no direct path down to the lake atm, it was closed. If you go via the streets (watch out for the huge group tour buses if you walk) it takes about 15 minutes by foot.

It is a nice place to visit even during the hottest day. Right by the cable car. For those who want to have a bit of a spiritual Kenny, you’ll find a quiet corner too.

Most beautiful thing I have seen during my staying in Da Lat.

this place was just another classic vietnamese pagoda. though it was nice to visit in the morning and the weather in december was extremely nice.

i would recommend this place for people who want to know a little bit more about Buddhism or just vietnam in general.

P/S: there were no entrance fees at all. they just require you to wear proper clothings.

Perfect to visit as part of the cable car ride. Lovely monastery. With lots of flowers.

free monastery on top of a hill that’s accessible via cable car
