Three days conquering the largest volcanic cave system in Southeast Asia at Dak Nong Geological Park, Dak Nong Province will be an ideal journey for those who love adventure.
Over 10 km with a total of 50 caves, this volcanic cave system is located deep in the basalt rocky mountains and is distributed in the D’Ray Sap – Chu R’Luh area.
The volcanic caves have a homogeneous origin, formed by the eruption and freezing of basalt lava. Besides a series of stalactites, cracks and folds, we can also discovered stone tools, ceramic utensils, ancient tombs…
Unlike limestone caves, volcanic caves in basalt mountains have a weak wall structure and are prone to subsidence. Therefore, visitors should not arbitrarily explore the cave without safety equipment and experienced climbing.
Currently, visitors can explore this cave system with Exp Community’s 3 day tour: $599/ person (about 14 million VND), as groups of at least 6 people. Visitors will travel throughout the journey by personal car.
C7 is the most notable cave of the trip with a length of 1,067m and is recognized as Southeast Asia’s top record in size, length and originality by the Japanese Volcanic Cave Association.
C7 cave has 11m sinkhole so visitors have to use ropes or cables to climb down. Visitors can hike under the sinkhole, but the deeper we go, the lower and flatter the terrain.
To ensure safety, visitors have to take a climbing course in Ho Chi Minh City or provide an appropriate mountaineering certificate, or your climbing experience before the journey.
Located at an altitude of 600-700m above sea level, Dak Nong Geological Park covers an area of 4,760 km2, accounts for 2/5 of Dak Nong province. It converges the typical values of geology, culture, history and diverse flora and fauna system.
