The journey begins at 8:00 AM when our guide picks you up from your accommodation in the Phong Nha area. The guide will provide necessary equipment, go over the itinerary, and have you sign the Release Form. Afterward, the van will take you to the trekking starting point.

Here, you will begin trekking and climbing to reach the entrance of Elephant Cave, where you’ll feel the cool air and see the lush vegetation inside the cave. Winding through collapsed rock layers and sparkling stalactites of various shapes, you’ll also hear fascinating insights from the guide, from the cave’s formation process to historical stories about Elephant Cave serving as a base for Vietnamese soldiers during the American War.

After exploring Elephant Cave and taking photos, you will exit through the front entrance and have lunch there.

After lunch, you will continue trekking to Ma Da Lake, which is also the overnight camping spot for this journey. Ma Da Lake is a crystal-clear lake with a stunning emerald-green color. Here you can swim freely, take photos, or take on the challenge of jumping into the lake from 5-meter and 10-meter high cliffs beside the lake.

After enjoying the cool water, a hot and delicious dinner will immediately “warm up” your body with Quang Binh specialties, prepared by Jungle Boss’s chefs. The evening is also a time for the group to sit together, chat, play cards, or Jenga for entertainment and rest after a long day.
