Son Doong cave is of Phong Nha-Ke Bang national park, Quang Binh province, Vietnam. It's five times larger than Phong Nha cave, the previous largest in Vietnam. Son Doong was found in 1991 by a local guide, then in 2009, this guide led the British scientist team to Son Doong to make a thorough survey.I've seen some pics of this cave. It's so gorgeous, stunning and amazing.

From the Oxalis web site:
5 days / 4 nights (plus 1 night before and 1 night after the expedition)
VND 66,000,000 or US$3,000/pax (incl. $660 National Park fee
Too steep for me, even if it wasn't sold out. This is for serious covers only.
I'll have to be content with the day tours into the other caves.

We will visit two caves as day trips:
Paradise Cave trek, 7km into the cave, 2,650,000VND each

Phong Nha Cave, go by boat

Oxalis does offer a 1 night camping in the cave but still very expensive. Mayne next trip. I was so impressed with the caves at Mulu National Park in Borneo that I wanted to see more.
