Hang En Adventure Cave Camp 2d1n

Its size will blow you away, and our campsite located within the cave beside a lazy river will leave you speechless. Therefore, you’ll examine fascinating fossils in one part of the cave over 300 million years old, and around every corner be subjected to the most picturesque views. A stop in the ethnic minority Ban Doong Village, set amongst the limestone mountains is a highlight for many, not to mention the pristine jungle, many river crossings, and jovial porter team made up of local jungle men!

Hang En is one of our famous caves that have been featured within National Geographic, The New York Times, Lonely Planet, Dailymail UK, and recently on Good Morning America, in front of over 6 million audience members, as well as in Pan (2015), a newly-released blockbuster film distributed by Warner Bros. Entertainment (Hollywood).
