Highlights
  • Cao Bang - Begin your journey with a hotel pickup in Cao Bang city, followed by a 2-hour bus ride to Nguom Ngao cave.
  • Nguom Ngao Cave - Located in Gun Village, Cao Bang Province, Northern Vietnam, near the Vietnam-China border, Nguom Ngao Cave is a natural marvel. This province is celebrated for its breathtaking natural scenery, featuring lush mountains, scenic valleys, and captivating waterfalls.

The name “Nguom Ngao” carries significant meaning and is rich with intriguing legends passed down through the local community. In the Tay language, “Nguom” means cave, and “Ngao” means tiger, making “Nguom Ngao” translate to Tiger Cave.

One of the cave’s most remarkable aspects is the coloration of its stalactites. These formations, created over thousands of years through mineral deposits from dripping water, contain calcium mixed with various impurities. These impurities, such as iron or copper, lend the stalactites shades of red, brown, green, or even blue.

This stunning waterfall showcases a spectacular display as clear waters cascade from one tier to another, blending seamlessly with the verdant surroundings.

Ban Gioc is renowned as one of the four largest cross-border waterfalls in the world and is particularly famous in Vietnam. In recent years, it has seen a rise in tourists from around the globe who come to witness its unique and exotic natural beauty.

Day trip to Cao Bang - Spectacular place to relax in the nature away from Hanoi. The car ride to Cao Bang was a bit long for my liking but it was comfortable and the scenery was definitely worth it. Our lunch stop was tasty and I even bought some food to go. Highly recommend !

Amazing time in North Vietnam - We had a great time on our day trip to Bangioc Waterfall and Ngoum Ngao Cave. Our driver, Mr. Hoa, was super friendly and helpful, he organised the tickets for the waterfall park and for the cave, also bring us to have an amazing lunch in a local restaurant. Miss Kate, our point of contact in the agency was super friendly and helpful, helping with the language barriers and checking on us to see if we get what we want to see. I super recommend them for anyone interested in visiting Cao Bang Province.
