Why Phong Nha
- World-class caves including Paradise Cave and the Dark Cave adventure tour
- One of Vietnam's best backpacker social scenes despite the small town size
- Stunning karst mountain scenery and lush jungle
Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to some of the most spectacular cave systems on Earth, including Son Doong — the world's largest cave. The small town of Phong Nha has developed into a backpacker hotspot thanks to excellent hostels, adventure caving tours, and stunning karst scenery. It is quieter and more nature-focused than Vietnam's big cities, offering a refreshing change of pace on the north-south route.
