What you can expect

Itinerary:

7:30 AM - Departure:

Sovaba Travel choices you up at locations such as hotels, train stations, and Dong Hoi Airport. For customers arriving early from morning trains and buses, we will pick you up at Sovaba Travel's office to rest and relax before departure.

8:00: AM - Start:

Depart from Dong Hoi to Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park. The first trip will take you to Paradise Cave, one of the largest dry caves in Asia, also known as the “Underground Royal Palace”.

9:00: AM - Paradise Cave Exploration:

Visitors begin their journey to Paradise Cave with a scenic 1.6-kilometer tram ride, followed by a gentle walk up the mountainside. Hidden behind a modest, narrow entrance lies a breathtaking underground wonderland, vastly opening to reveal ceilings soaring between 40 to 60 metres high, and stretching as wide as 120 metres across. Inside, the air feels refreshingly cool—an inviting escape from the summer heat of Quang Binh.

Guided by wooden stairways illuminated softly by LED lights, travellers enter a magical realm often called an “Underground Royal Palace.” The cave mesmerises with magnificent stalactites and stalagmites that form incredible shapes—some resembling blooming flowers, delicate tree sprouts, or even cascading waterfalls frozen in stone. After spending about two hours exploring these stunning natural masterpieces, visitors retrace their steps, carrying home unforgettable memories of Paradise Cave’s surreal beauty.

After visiting Paradise Cave, you will be invited to a restaurant in the Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park area to have lunch with local specialities, in a peaceful and airy space.
