BIGGEST Prayer Wheel!
Samten Hills is a cultural and spiritual tourist destination in Lam Dong province, about an hour away from Dalat by motorbike. It is a place where many Vietnamese buddhists go for pilgrimage.
It is a beautiful destination, located on top of a hill. It is most known for the Great Prayer Wheel. It was inaugurated just this past March of 2023. It was also certified by the Guinness World Records as the world’s largest prayer wheel. It is a serene place with a beautiful view of the land below. There is also vegetarian restaurant and a cafe where you can sit down after walking around and enjoy a cup of coffee.
Entrance fee is 250k vnd per adult, so it’s not cheap. It does include a bottle of juice and water. When you get there, you buy the ticket and then must wait for a shuttle to drive you up the hill to the Prayer Wheel. You can walk around the premises, but to get to the cafe or the main entrance, you must wait and take the shuttle.
Tip: It’s on the very top of a hill with little shade, so better to go either early or late afternoon.

Samten Hills Dalat is a cultural and spiritual attraction that offers a serene escape from city life. The Vajrayana Buddhist Cultural Spiritual Space, Drigung Kagyu Samten Ling Vietnam, is the heart of Samten Hills, featuring the world's largest prayer wheel. The rotating prayer tower, golden bridge, and Buddha statues are awe-inspiring. Visitors can offer prayers, enjoy panoramic views, and explore the intricately hand-painted temple. The vegetarian restaurant serves delicious food. While photography is not allowed, the stunning architecture and views make it a must-visit destination for a peaceful and spiritual experience.
The tranquil atmosphere, stunning scenery, and spiritual significance of this hidden gem made my trip to Samten Hills a truly unforgettable experience.
