Overview

Cao Bang is an immensely beautiful, sparsely populated frontier region of North Vietnam.

Although the Ban Gioc waterfalls have become a popular attraction, this region is often overlooked by tourists which has meant its unique beauty and culture has been well preserved. The landscape here is typified by jagged mountains carpeted in thick vegetation, sporadic rice paddies and thin winding roads. Experience the natural beauty of northern Vietnam’s Ban Gioc Waterfall on this multi day guided excursion. After a convenient hotel pickup in Hanoi, explore Ban Gioc Waterfall and Pagoda, Angle's Eyes Mountain and explore Nguom Ngao Cave with see the colors of its stalactites.

  • Ban Gioc Waterfall - Detian Falls
    Ban Gioc Waterfall is one of Vietnam’s most impressive natural sights. Located in the northeastern province of Cao Bang, the falls are 30 metres high and 300 metres across, making Ban Gioc the widest (but not the highest) waterfall in the country. The falls occur on the Quay Son River, a beautiful jade-blue body of water flowing from China through a pastoral landscape of rice fields and bamboo groves surrounded by limestone pinnacles. Despite improved road access and public transportation connections, and the popularity of several recent viral drone videos showcasing the majesty of the falls, Ban Gioc is still a relatively off-the-beaten-path sight. Mass tourism has yet to arrive and, outside of weekends and public holidays, there’s rarely more than a trickle of foreign and domestic visitors.
  • Nguom Ngao Cave
    Nguom Ngao Cave is located in a mountain in Gun village of Dam Thuy commune, Trung Khanh district, is a priceless asset that the nature has gifted to the northern mountainous province of Cao Bang. Nearly 5 kilometres away from the renowned Ban Gioc Waterfall, Nguom Ngao Cave was discovered in 1921, opened to tourists in 1996, and recognised as a national-level scenic landscape in 1998. Nguom Ngao means “Tiger Cave” in the Tay ethnic language. It is said that that this site used to be a den of many tigers which were then killed by local residents to guarantee a safe life. Given this, local Tay people named this place “Nguom Ngao”. However, another story said there was an underground stream with piles of pebbles flowing into the Quay Son River and releasing murmur which echoes in the cave and sounds like a tiger’s roar, thus earning this cave the name “Nguom Ngao”.
  • Nui Mắt Thần
    “Mountain Angel eye” or “Phja Piot” (in Tay language means a mountain with through-going hole) is in Quoc Toan commune, Trung Khanh district. Mountain Angel eye is in fact a rounded through-going cave c.50m in diameter and c.50m high above the lake. The present day altitude of the cave is due mainly to recent tectonic uplift movements. The cave has developed in a tower karst landscape at the altitude of c.650-700m asl, that consists of karst towers and cones alternating with several tens of lakes in their between, all together constituting the so-called Thang Hen Lake System. A peculiar feature of the Thang Hen Lake System is that the lakes are inter connected and eventually connected with surface and/or underground flows. Hence the water level in the lakes can change seasonally, sometimes very rapidly. So on the pathway toward the “Mountain Angel eye” visitors may be surprised to find a lake, around 15ha in area when full of water and locally known as the Nam Tra lake, during the rain
