Things to do in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, Quang Binh Province: The Best Walking Tours

May 24, 2021 Cedrick Jardin

The karst formation of Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park has evolved since the Paleozoic (some 400 million years ago) and so is the oldest major karst area in Asia. Subject to massive tectonic changes, the park’s karst landscape is extremely complex with many geomorphic features of considerable significance. The vast area, extending to the border of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, contains spectacular formations including 65 kilometers of caves and underground rivers.

This is a difficult trek, but everything about it was fantastic. The guides and porters are extremely knowledgeable, organized and professional, and the two caves, which our small group had to ourselves, were both awesome experiences. The second one, the E-Cave, where we swam in about 500m until it was pitch black was one of the most memorable outdoors things I've done. Now, I'm not a caver, but I have been in a few tourist ones around SE Asia, and this experience is totally different. Be prepared for some physical exertion, though. I'm 53, go to the gym regularly, and do a 10 mile run once a week, and I was struggling a bit. It's a lot of up and down through the jungle. But it's such beautiful terrain, that kept me going. The lunch (cooked by the porters) was also fantastic--BBQ pork with a special jungle sauce that really hit the spot. There's so much packed into one day, and I highly recommend it.

Thank you for heart warming support. I enjoyed an excellent scenery in the cave. I recommend visitors to go there from Dong Hoi city. 1 hour ride from there is just suitable for a nap on the way to go and from comparing boring long bus ride from other cities.

I fell in love with Vietnam on a one-time trip. Not because of its islands, not because of its famous bridge, not because of its nature. I fell in love with this country because of the good and kind people of Vietnam. Of course, Vietnam has very beautiful islands.
