Resting on the banks of the graceful Son River in central Vietnam is the charming town of Phong Nha. Travellers to this tranquil town can meander along the riverbank, sample the mouth-watering local cuisine and admire the breathtaking scenic surroundings.

This welcoming riverside hamlet serves as a gateway to the wondrous Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park; a UNESCO World Heritage Site of limestone mountains riddled with hundreds of expansive cave systems and underground rivers which can be explored by foot, boat or bike.

One of the major drawcards of the awe-inspiring jungle region is the Phong Nha Cave; a magical cave only accessible via boat, with limestone sculptures and a staircase leading up to some local shops resting at the entrance.
