MAYBE YOU DON’T KNOW
According to World Wildlife Foundation report in 2000, Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park is one of 200 biodiversity centres of the world and one of the 60 significant sanctuaries of Vietnam. It has a unique forest type in the world: green tropical forest. The park also has 15 other types of forests. The national park was created to protect one of the world’s two largest karst regions with 300 caves and grottoes.
In January 2009, the United States-based Los Angeles Times listed Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in its recommended world’s 29 destinations to visit in 2009. For who loves adventure, you can choose our private tour with 1 night staying inside the Park.
Phong Nha cave is over 5km long and was once upon a time “the biggest cave of Vietnam”. In 2005, Thien Duong “Paradise” cave was found and 31km long, taking the titlle from Phong Nha and above of all, it’s also “the World’s Largest Cave” with 100m height and 150m wide. 4 years later, this title was handover once again to Son Doong cave when experts from British Caving Association discovered this new cave with total length of 56km, 200m height and 150m wide.
Until now, tourists can only explore 11 km of Thien Duong “Paradise” cave and no-one can get inside Son Doong cave because it’s too new even to the local people apart from 2 Vietnamese joining with British Cave Association experts in 2009 and 2010. Now the only way to get inside is roping down from the vault.
The best time to visit the 3 caves is from November to April (dry season) to avoid the rising water level of underground rivers inside the Phong Nha caves.
