Po Nagar is a Cham temple tower founded sometime before 781 and located in the medieval principality of Kauthara, near modern Nha Trang in Vietnam. It is dedicated to Yan Po Nagar, the goddess of the country, who came to be identified with the Hindu goddesses Bhagavati and Mahishasuramardini, and who in Vietnamese is called Thiên Y Thánh Mẫu. The Po Nagar complex is situated on Cù Lao Mountain. It consists of three levels, the highest of which encompasses two rows of towers. The main tower is about 25 m high. The temple's central image is a 1.2m tall stone statue of the goddess Yan Po Nagar sitting cross-legged, dressed only in a skirt, with ten hands holding various symbolic items. According to Vietnamese scholar Ngô Vǎn Doanh, these attributes show that Yan Po Nagar was identified also with the Hindu goddess Mahishasuramardini or Durga, the slayer of the buffalo-demon.

Best tour we have done

This tour is one of the best we have done. Duy our guide and Long our driver were fantastic. They both have great english and Duy gave us lots of information and facts along our tour. He is also a pretty good photographer :) and takes the time to get good pictures for you. We visited lots of interesting sites and spent time exploring each one. Enjoyed the visit to the local markets, and especially enjoyed our authentic pho lunch. Absolutely recommend this tour if you want to see and experience the local charm of Nha Trang.

NHA TRANG TOUR - the GUIDE MATTERS!!

I booked this tour for me and the missus, the day before the scheduled tour, after scoping out muiltiple options (bus, scooter and boat). We wanted something that didnt feel rushed and was personnel. This eliminated all the "VIP Bus/limousine " options (in most instances "limousine" is synonymous with "bus"). My wife wasnt willing to take the safety challenge of going at it on scooters either. After careful review of multiple options I crossed my fingers and selected. Luck was absolutely on my side....My guide, Duy, was exceptional. He contacted me a day prior to my tour and ensured I understood where and when we would meet up. He was accommodating, professional and genuinely fun to talk to. He expanded on local lore, city politics, Nha Trang history, cuisine and best practices when shopping in the city. The driver was also professional, safe and never too far away from our designatdd tour stops regardless of traffic. If younare looking for someone who is professional genuinely and will curtail the "experience," to what you are looking for - Duy is your guy! Im definitely pinging him for ALL future endeavors in Nha Trang. If you do the same, you wont be disappointed.....

Operator response

We are thrilled to hear that our private tour perfectly matched what you and your wife were looking for—a safe, personal, and unhurried journey through Nha Trang. Your high praise for Duy and our driver truly warms our hearts. Duy is indeed known for his passion for local history and culture and we are glad his customized approach made your trip so memorable. I will certainly pass your kind words along to both of them. We look forward to welcoming you back for your future journey in Nha Trang! Best Regards! Vietnam Backpacker Travel Team
