Photo: The magical beauty of the deep forest of Ba Cave in Quang Binh

Exploring the deep forest of Hang Ba ( Quang Binh ), Mr. Nguyen Anh Chiem recorded beautiful images of the cave in the core area of Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park.

Hang Ba area is located in the core zone of Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park in Tan Trach commune, Bo Trach district, Quang Binh province, about 15km from the Lao border. This is home to many rare animals with primeval forests and thousands of years old trees. Hang Ba area is strictly protected in 3 main subdivisions of Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park.

Joining Oxalis Adventure’s Ba Cave Deep Forest Exploration Tour, Nguyen Anh Chiem spent 50 million VND in the hope of satisfying his passion for conquering caves in Quang Binh. Joining the 6-day journey, Chiem explored 6 caves including Dai Cao Cave, Me Cung Cave, Ba Cave, Vinh Dai Cave, Sang Cave and Vinh Tron Cave. Here, he captured images of the majestic and beautiful caves in Quang Binh.

The caves in this area include many large caves. The diverse and unique stalactite system was discovered and mapped by the British-Vietnamese cave exploration team in 1992-1994. Vinh Tron Cave was discovered in 2021.

Mr. Chiem shared: "Hang Ba is not as big as Hang En or Hang Son Doong, but the beauty of this place is enough to hold a travel enthusiast like me."

He added that he went on a tour to explore the deep forest of Ba Cave, but the most impressive thing for him was Vinh Dai Cave. He recalled: “Standing in front of Vinh Dai Cave, I was truly overwhelmed by the captivating, enchanting and magical beauty that nature has bestowed upon this place. I stood here all afternoon and the next morning just to capture the most wonderful moments at Vinh Dai Cave.”

For Mr. Chiem, the Ba Cave exploration tour is extremely difficult and adventurous, with a long trekking route, along the way there are many large rocks, cat ear rocks, wading streams... In particular, there are sections where visitors have to wear seat belts to overcome steep, long slopes that seem to exhaust the participants.

Taking beautiful photos here is not easy. Mr. Chiem said that cave photography is an extremely difficult genre...

...Due to low light, some places have no light at all or many different light sources, requiring the photographer to have relatively good technique and understanding to get good photos, Mr. Chiem expressed.

On the trip, Mr. Chiem brought a camera, a wide-angle lens, a telephoto lens, and a tripod. Throughout the journey, he was helped by porters to carry the necessary items.

On the journey to explore Ba Cave, visitors will have the opportunity to listen to the sounds of the wild world, see traces of rare animals through camera trap systems... Note, visitors can only explore Ba Cave from January to August every year.
