Day 3 Exploration of Duong Thien Duong and Tra Ang Cave
After having breakfast in the hotel, ride to the Dong Thien Duong (Paradise Cave), a highlight of the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park about 11.5km (7mi) from the hotel. It will take around 30 minutes to reach there. After storing the motorbike beside the ticket office, buy the entry ticket, which is VND25,000/pax. It is about 2km (1.2mi) from the ticket office. If you walk to the cave entrance, it will take about 15 minutes. Or, you could take an electrical car instead.
Paradise Cave is as long as 31km (19mi), but only 1km (0.6 mi) is open to tourists. Even though, one needs to walk down along 524 stairs to reach the bottom. Inside the cave, grow various stalagmites and stalagtites dating to 40,000,000 years ago. Decorated by colorful lights, the cave is like a crystal palace.
The visit to Tra Ang Cave this afternoon is completely adventurous. You need to hike through a rainforest, some slopes with the angle over 60° degrees, and several rivers to get there. It is a wet cave full of water, so you need to swim or walk in water to visit it. There is no light inside, therefore a head torch is necessary. You'd better also bring with you a lifejacket and a helmet. If you do not prepare them, rent them on the spot.
