From March 16 to April 25 2014, The British Royal Cave Research
Association coordinated with the University of Science under the Viet
Nam National University – Ha Noi, and the Management Board of Phong Nha –
Ke Bang National Park conducted a survey on caves in Phong Nha – Ke
Bang area and discovered an additional 39 new caves, which cover a total
length of 17km, in the park.
The new caves brought the park’s total explored cave space to 200 kilometers.
Accordingly, 39 new caves were found and carefully measured, charted
and photographed providing new and precise figures to the administrators
of Phong Nha- Ke Bang National Park.
The three most notable caves were the 1,100 meter by 200 meter cave
named May, the 213 meter high Vuc Moi, and the 1,230 meter wide Lan.
Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park is one of the most spectacular
wilderness sites in South East Asia and one of the 2 largest limestone
regions in the world, will become one of the most attractive tourist
destination in Vietnam.
