Paradise Cave: An “Underground Palace” of Natural Wonders
Discovered in 2005 by a local man named Ho Khanh and explored by the British Cave Research Association, Paradise Cave is a geological masterpiece. At over 31.4 km in length, it holds the record as the longest dry cave in Asia, making it a star attraction of any Paradise Cave tour.
Stepping inside, you’ll be immersed in a surreal underground palace of stunning stalactites and stalagmites. These ancient formations, predicted to be over 300 million years old, have been given imaginative names like the Champa Tower and Rong House, creating a truly unique and captivating experience on your Paradise Cave Vietnam tour.
