I plan to visit Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park to explore its stunning limestone karst landscapes and extensive cave systems, which are perfect for my adventure and photography interests. Traveling with friends, we expect to spend 10 days hiking through the park's lush jungles, kayaking on its rivers, and discovering the rich biodiversity of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Without a specific hotel in mind, we're opting for flexible accommodations, possibly a local guesthouse or eco-lodge, to immerse ourselves in the local culture and meet fellow travelers.
