Tour Description:

One of the joys of trekking is the ability to explore and find out about a lesser known place among the many other trekking routes. Indeed, being the first few people to find out about a hidden spot or a lesser known destination is both an honour and a pleasant surprise. The Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park itself is teeming with pristine untouched jungle and caves that are waiting for you to explore. Additionally, you can learn more about the flora and fauna species sprawled across the jungle area as you make your way toward the beautiful jungle and admire its alluring charm.

In this tour into the abandoned valley, you will get to explore 2 un-spoilt caves as you trek around the pristine jungle of the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park. First, you will head toward the HQ for your safety briefing. Once you are ready, you will head directly to the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park and unto your trail-head. Then, make your way into the beautiful and fertile jungle and trek your way up to your first destination - Dark Cave. Your path will consist of narrow pathways, giant boulders and river that will encourage you to test your trekking ability to its fullest. Meanwhile, do not also forget to look around for the many flora and fauna species found along your path.  

Upon your arrival at the Dark Cave, you will then sit down, relax and enjoy some well-deserved break. Open up your snack pack and converse with your tour guide about how you are currently feeling and what you wish to know more about the site. They will be more than happy to fill you in with their rich knowledge and know-how. Then, spend the next hour exploring the beautiful interior of the Dark Cave as you snap your pictures and marvel at the beautiful rock formations adorning the walls. Afterwards, you will take another short break once you are out of the cave. Head toward the E Cave and enjoy some delicious BBQ and spring roll lunch as you approach the cave. With a full tummy, you are ready to conquer E Cave. Strap up, gear up and get pumped up for a 45 minutes’ swim into E Cave as you admire the wet cave and its mysterious charm.

Once you exit the cave, you will be able to take a coffee break before hitting the road, going back to HQ and returning to your place for the day.
