Located in Kim Ngan commune, Quang Binh province (now Quang Tri),
Cha Loi cave is emerging as a destination for those who love adventure
travel and nature exploration. Deep in a million-year-old limestone mountain
range, the cave is surrounded by vast green forests, keeping the temperature
cool and pleasant in all seasons.
Pristine beauty and unique structure
Cha Loi cave is hundreds of meters long, with many large and small winding
passages like a maze. Inside, stalactites of various shapes were formed over
millions of years of lime water dripping. Under the flashlight, they glow in
shades of yellow, orange, and white, creating the feeling of being lost in
an underground "stone palace".
The gurgling sound of the underground stream mixed with the sound of bats
flapping their wings creates a mysterious atmosphere. Some areas in the cave
have soaring ceilings and open spaces of up to tens of meters, enough to
organize experiential activities such as rope climbing, geological
exploration or artistic photography.
Journey of conquest full of experiences
To reach the cave, visitors must cross a forest road about 2 km long with
gently sloping terrain, interspersed with bends hugging the mountain. In the
dry season, the road is easier to travel, but in the rainy season, it
becomes more challenging because it is slippery. On the road, rows of
ancient trees, the sound of forest birds and the scent of moist soil will
make visitors feel the wildness of the mountains and forests of Quang Tri.
As you enter the cave, your guide will provide you with a helmet,
flashlight, and gloves to ensure your safety. Some narrow sections of the
cave require you to bend over or squeeze through crevices in the rocks,
providing a feeling of both suspense and excitement.
How to visit Cha Loi Cave
There are two ways to explore Cha Loi Cave: join a tour or go it alone, each
with its own experiences and limitations.
Going with the tour, visitors will be provided with a complete package from
transportation, a tour guide knowledgeable about the terrain, protective
equipment to a light meal in the middle of the forest. This is an ideal
choice for those who come to Quang Binh for the first time or have no
experience in cave trekking, because it not only ensures safety, saves time
finding the way but also helps you understand more deeply about geology,
ecosystems and local cultural stories through the tour guide's explanation.
On the contrary, arrange a trip yourself is suitable for those who are
familiar with going to the forest, are in good health and want to be
proactive about time and schedule. You can flexibly explore in your own way,
sometimes saving costs, but in return, you must carefully prepare maps,
protective equipment, contact a guide and be ready to deal with risks
related to terrain and weather.
For most visitors, especially newbies, taking a guided tour is still the
safest and most complete choice, allowing you to leisurely enjoy the journey
to conquer the magical beauty of Cha Loi Cave without having to worry about
complicated preparations.

nature. Once you enter the cave, you will see that each rock, each drop of
water tells a story - a story of millions of years that you can only fully
appreciate when you see it with your own eyes.
