Phong Nha has only recently opened up to tourism with the discovery of 300 caves including most recent discovery of Son Doong, the largest cave in the world. Aside from a few hotels the area around the national park gives you genuine experience of jaw dropping Vietnamese countryside.
For travelers the days are full of beautiful driving through scenic farmlands surrounded by magnificent rock formations, crazy fun and breathtaking adventures in the many caves, and relaxed afternoons of delicious food and a cold beer.

Mud fight in the cave made this picture almost impossible
The swim toward the back of the cave in the dark was incredible and we all left the cave with soft skin

After a week of adventure in Phong Nha I hopped on a late night motorbike taxi for a 70 kilometer drive to the train station for a night train to Hanoi.
Stop by soon to hear about more adventures in Northern Vietnam!
