Va Cave

Va Cave (Hang Va) is a natural limestone cave located within Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in Bo Trach District, Quang Tri Province, central Vietnam. Part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Phong Nha-Ke Bang karst system, it is noted for its rare cone-shaped stalactites, calcite formations and underground lake. Access is restricted to multi-day guided expeditions, typically combined with nearby Nuoc Nut Cave, requiring trekking and camping.

Visitors can expect a remote jungle trek to reach Va Cave within Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, followed by guided exploration of a pristine cave interior featuring rare cone-shaped stalactites, stalagmites, calcite draperies and an underground lake. The experience involves hiking through forest and rivers, scrambling over rocks, swimming or wading inside the cave, and overnight camping near the cave as part of an authorized 2-day expedition. No independent access or developed visitor infrastructure inside the cave.

Va Cave is part of the Phong Nha-Ke Bang karst system, formed over 400 million years ago and inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003. The cave remains in a largely pristine state and is managed as part of the national park's protected cave network.
