Discovered in 2005 and only opened to tourists last year, the cave is reported to be more attractive than Phong Nha or Tien Son caves.
According to the British Cave Research Association, Thien Duong Cave lies on a complex area of limestone mountains at a height of 191 meters and is surrounded by the primeval forest of the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park.
The cave is striking with its length of 31.4 kilometers and splendid geological tectonics which are large and diverse. Stalactites in the cave are very beautiful and the maximum height of the cave is 100 meters.
To serve tourists, local investors have completed a 4km path from the mountain foot to the cave. Tourists can walk or take an electronic car then descend 524 stone steps to enter the cave and witness the magnificence of the stalactites polls with a diameter of about 3-4 meters. They are real masterpieces of nature.
Saigontourist Travel Service Company in HCMC and the Saigon-Quang Binh Hotel under management of Saigontourist are offering a chance to see this wonderful natural attraction.
The company introduces a cluster of tours to explore the beauty of the cave such as a four-day tour to Thien Duong Cave-Ba Na ecotourism site priced from VND5 million or a three-day tour to Phong Nha Cave-Thien Duong Cave priced from VND3.75 million. There are also six-day tours on offer.
The four-star Saigon-Quang Binh Hotel also offers tours to Thien Duong Cave for tourists in Quang Binh.
