Hanoi, Vietnam, July 21, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The lucky tourist group is from Australia, they are researching scientists from the Victorian Department of Primary Industries in Australia. This group of four is going to take 3 days and 2 nights to explore parts of the cave system where the regular tourists are still not allowed to go.
This trip not only brings the real experience but also is a challenge for tourists when they take 3 days trekking and 2 nights camping in the cave.
Son Doong cave (meaning Mountain River Cave) is a cave in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, Bo Trach District, Quang Binh Province, Vietnam. The cave is located near the Laos-Vietnam border.
It was first discovered by a local in 1991 (Mr. Ho Khanh), and surveyed by the British Cave Research Association from April 10 to April 14, 2009. According to the survey team, Son Doong is the Earth's largest known cave passage at present. It is more than 200 meters wide, 150 meters high, and at least 6.5 kilometers long, though the explorers said they were unable to explore it fully.
With this information, Son Doong is much larger than Deer Cave in Malaysia, currently considered the world's largest, an explorer said (Deer is 90 meters wide, 100 meters high and 2 kilometers long). The Son Doong cave has replaced it to take pole position as the world's largest cave.
Son Doong is formed by a system of grottos, flowing underground rivers, giant walls and deep lakes. In the 200m high arch of the cave, the sight is extremely magnificent with images of the Eden in the grotto, stalactites, giant wall or the collection of "Pearls" with thousands of years. The grandeur of nature is really unbelievable.
“Son Doong Cave is the masterpiece of nature. It is the must-see destination once in a lifetime for those who love adventure,” Mr. Tony Tran – The product manager of ATA said.
