06:00 - 08:00 | Departure & Travel to Nui Ba Den
The family departs early in the morning to avoid the sun and manage their time. Arriving at the tourist area around 8 AM is perfect: not too early, but not yet within the peak hours during Tet.
08:00 - 09:00 | Purchase tickets, rest & prepare to go up the mountain
Around 8 AM, visitors begin the ticket purchasing process and move to the cable car station area. During the peak period of the first three days of Tet, the ticket counter area is usually crowded, and waiting times can be long.
To ensure a smooth journey, families should prepare tickets or combos in advance through Sun World's two official channels:
- Sun World booking website
- Sun Paradise Land (SPL) application
Purchasing tickets online helps save time queuing, makes it easy to choose suitable combos for the whole family, and ensures authenticity and better deals compared to buying directly at the counter.
09:00 - 09:15 | Take the cable car on the Chua Hang route
Around 9 AM, the family begins their journey by cable car on the Chua Hang route. In just a few minutes, the serene mountain and forest scenery gradually unfolds, separating from the hustle and bustle below.
Taking the cable car makes it easier for the elderly to perform their New Year's prayers without having to climb long staircases, while still preserving the spiritual significance. For them, this is also a precious moment: going up the mountain at the start of the year with their children and grandchildren in a gentle, reassuring way.
09:15 - 10:30 | Pray for peace and well-being at the Chua Hang area
Families can leisurely offer incense, pray for peace, health, and good fortune for the new year. The temple's atmosphere on the mountain brings a sense of tranquility, allowing everyone to slow down and fully enjoy the moment at the start of the year.
09:45 - 10:30 | Perform New Year's prayers at the Chua Hang area
If the family wishes to combine prayer activities, the Chua Hang cable car route makes the journey much easier. There's no need for long climbs or extensive walking, yet the solemnity and tranquility of the spiritual space are maintained.

After completing the spiritual journey, the family continues by cable car on the Van Son route to reach the summit of Ba Den Mountain. The cable car ride is only about 8 minutes, gentle enough for the whole family to relax and enjoy the scenery from above.

For the elderly, this is a very precious moment: being able to go up the mountain at the beginning of the year in a worry-free, non-tiring way, in a spacious and quiet atmosphere.

How long is just right?
For families and the elderly, a half-day itinerary is usually just enough time for early year spring outings: leisurely experience, preserving the full meaning of praying for peace, without being too tiring or rushed.
Whether visiting during Tet or any time of year, to ensure the trip is always smooth and proactive, you should book tickets early via the Sun Paradise Land app.
Depending on the family's needs, you can choose suitable combos such as the All-in-One Combo Black Lady Mountain (Nui Ba Den) (Van Son cable car - Hang Pagoda - lunch buffet), Van Son Combo + lunch buffet, or the Black Lady Mountain (Nui Ba Den) Spiritual Journey Combo - convenient, all-inclusive, and easy for the whole multi-generational family.
