Detail program

Day 01: Ha Noi - Ba Be Lake & Kayaking (.../L/D)
Our tour guide will pick you up by car at your hotel in Hanoi old quarter about 7:30 AM to transfer you to Bac Kan. 
We will start our adventure pack by driving in the direction of Ba Be National Park for about 5 hours and have lunch on the way to the park. 
Arrival to the Boc Lom pier, you will learn how to paddle a kayak on rivers, take dry bags, sports equipment and life jackets... From here, you will continue to travel down the Nang River to explore the huge Puong cave by boat and kayaking. 
Then, you will cross the Nang River and pass through some steep terrain with many cat ears cliffs. We can return to Ba Be Lake by motorboat. Swimming is available here. Getting to Mr Linh’s Ba Be - Jungle Lake house and enjoy your night with BBQ dinner. 
Day 02: Tham Phay Cave Expedition (B/L/D)
07:00 - 07:30: Pick you up at your homestay. Brief introduction and preparation are here.
After a thirty-minute drive, you'll reach Tham Phay Cave, the hike starts with a steep uphill leading into the forest. Some rock at the top, and then a similar slope before the trail fades and you enter the valley. Turning west of the trail is a large patch of rock for you to find your way through, with the help and direction of your guide and safety team. The precarious entrance is at the end of the forest. 
Enjoy some snacks before starting to explore the cave.
Tham Phay Cave is a beautiful stream cave with two underground river tributaries, where you will experience narrow passages, craggy mountains and some deep pools with very nice photo opportunities. Plants and algae cover many calcite formations. Going deeper into the cave, you will find many unusual features of the cave such as the ceiling dome and many layers of rock, giving the walls a striking appearance. 
You will spend about five hours exploring this 5km deep river cave, which geologists have not discovered so far. Of course, we will provide you with the necessary equipment, such as helmets and powerful headlights. The cave expands considerably as you go through the original entrance and offers some great opportunities for excellent photos.
Enjoy a few snacks before continuing the journey to explore the 2nd path of the cave system that possesses miraculous stalagmites millions of years old, dangerous sinkholes and heat flows at the bottom. Leaving Tham Phay, you will return to the cave entrance and return to the original pick-up point.
