Paradise Cave
Động Thiên Đường
A dry cave about 31 km long. The first 1 km has boardwalks open to visitors, with vast, white stalactite columns earning it the name 'underground palace.'
Paradise Cave was discovered in 2005 by the British Cave Research Association. It stretches about 31.4 km and is one of the longest dry caves in Asia. The visitor area is a boardwalk about 1 km into the cave from the entrance. The chambers rise several dozen meters high and are covered with white stalactites, stalagmites and flowstone, with soft lighting. From the parking area you can walk or take an electric cart to the foot of the mountain, then climb about 500 steps to the entrance. Admission is about 250,000 VND. There are also caving tours that go 7 km deep, which must be booked in advance. It is about 25 km from Phong Nha village, reachable by hired car or motorbike. The cave floor is slippery, so wear non-slip shoes.
