Day trip to the Abandoned Valley

Run by the owner of the Jungle Boss Homestay in Phong Nha, this tour takes you out on a full day excursion in the caves and valleys of the national park. The Abandoned Valley is a remote area of the Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park, covering a section of the famous Ho Chi Minh Trail. From the departure point you will trek through the jungle to the other exit of the Dark Cave, where you can explore up to 500m inside. Trek for another hour over to E Cave, one of the most impressive caves in the area. Enjoy a BBQ lunch in the cave entrance and swim in the crystal clear spring that runs through the cave. Continue your trek through the jungle along a different trail back to the Ho Chi Minh Road, and enjoy a cold drink before being taken back to your homestay early evening for a well-deserved rest!
