Hang-en-trekking-300x191 Hang En 2Days - Ultimate Cave AdventureExperience one of the biggest WOW factors in Vietnam on this two-day tour to one of the largest caves in the world. You’ll meet a remote minority ethnic group living deep in the jungle, visit the jaw-dropping exit made famous by National Geographic, and spend the night inside a massive chamber with thousands of darting swifts overhead.

On this trip you’ll spend your first day scrambling down a jungle mountain from an elevation of 500m, before passing through a remote mountain tribe of only 42 people in Ban Doong Village. Look out for the crazy owl! After which you will follow a spectacular river valley to reach Hang En Cave, which has been recognized as one of the most captivating caves on earth by National Geographic! Hang En Cave is an incredible feat of nature and you will not see anything like it anywhere else in the world.

With your expert English-speaking guide and porter team, you’ll explore this magnificent cave and see some fascinating fossils, which are over 300 million years old.
