Son Doong Caves, Quang Binh Province

Hello,

I have read articles on this cave said to be one of the largest in the world.
Tour organizers seem to be putting an astounding price tag for few days of exploring
the area.
Have anyone here ever experienced the adventure going there?
Is it possible to travel to  Quang Binh Province from Saigon by Bus?

Thanks

Not one of the largest......

the largest known cave passage cross-section in the world

My only recommendation is go there as soon as you can afford it.
The high price is because of exclusivity.If it's cheap it won't be unique.

If you go do it soon,because it will be a faeces laden,urine smelling,rubbish pit when prices go down.

Sa Pa is a perfect example.
Once a way off mountainous retreat to enjoy the sights,the weather and the minority culture.
Now it is infested with mass tourism,constant hawkers and inflated prices.

If you are indeed a spelunker,I recommend doing it soon.
