Good day, everyone!
I'm back on this wonderful community today to continue telling you about my trip to Hang Tien, and in this post, I'll tell you about the second day of our excursion.
We awoke at 6 a.m. to walk to the swimming pool and swim for about 15 minutes before returning to the camp for breakfast. We ordered "banh canh" with pork ribs and French toast. We went to the camping location after breakfast to pack everything up, replenished our water bottles, and climbed to Hang Tien No.1. It took us around 15 minutes to walk from the camp to the cave, which was initially discovered in 1994 by the British Caving Research Association. This cave is thought to be the largest cave in the Tu Lan cave system by volume and size. With a height of 100 meters and a width of roughly 80 meters, the cave entrance is truly stunning and spectacular, allowing the sun to shine in and allowing plants to grow into it. The group came to a halt here for 30 minutes to snap some great photographs and I discussed some unique cave formations.
The team walked farther down the cave to a dark region where they discovered a truly magnificent formation circle. Since the cave began to develop, this type of formation has been generated by a particularly strong eddy.
We continued walking into the cave, where we discovered thousands of bats. The cave had some tough topography, such as jagged rocks. We all had to climb up the 10m ladder near the cave's end. To ensure everyone's safety, the safety crew had to deploy technological equipment such as ropes, harnesses, and pulleys to help us ascend up the ladder. The cave's opening door was roughly 100 meters away. Before going to view Tien Cave No.2, we took a 10-minute break and continued to discuss the jungle.
We continued up from the valley to the cave entrance. It was incredibly cool since the cave's wind blew through the opening, making it feel like air conditioning. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This is something I hope people will enjoy during the summer.
We had roughly a kilometer to explore in the cave, which was filled with a variety of cave formations. Because this cave was constructed on a higher ledge, everything here appeared to be completely unspoiled when we arrived. Oxalis is attempting to conserve this cave by placing markers, and anyone who want to visit it must follow a single trail. We entered and exited the cave in the same manner. There are numerous photo chances here as well. We returned to the cave entrance and enjoyed a delicious lunch before beginning the lengthy hike back to the road. It took us three hours to hike up and down. We all made it back to the road at 5 p.m., when our driver awaited us with cold drinks.
We arrived at the office, took a relaxing hot shower, and began packing our belongings. Before returning to Phong Nha village, we said our goodbyes to the safety assistants, chef, and porters. We definitely had a great trip with lovely people, stunning views and wonderful experience from easy to difficult levels.
