Worth agreeing on before you meet
UNESCO World Heritage
Phong Nha-Ke Bang is a UNESCO World Heritage Site protecting some of the oldest karst formations on earth (400 million years old). Stay on marked trails, do not touch cave formations, and never remove stalactites or rocks. The caves are irreplaceable natural treasures.
War History
The Phong Nha region was heavily bombed during the Vietnam War, and the caves were used as shelters and military hospitals. Unexploded ordnance still exists in the jungle. Never venture off marked trails in the national park. The Eight Ladies Cave memorial commemorates female soldiers who died in a bombing.
Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Phong Nha Caves travel guide.
