Detailed itinerary

Main activities

The vehicle and tour guide begin picking up guests from hotels in Dong Hoi city center. Along the journey, you will receive an introduction to the history of the Truong Son Trail and touching stories from the wartime resistance period.
Next, the group continues the journey to Command Cave—a site steeped in historic significance located deep within the Truong Son wilderness, closely linked to the strategic arterial route known as "Route 20 – Quyet Thang".
The trekking journey commences at the transfer station. Sheltered under the canopy of primeval forest, you will retrace the footsteps of former soldiers along "K Road"—a top-secret route once meticulously camouflaged to transport weapons, provisions, and medical supplies to the southern front.
During this journey, you will:
Visit the road-opening tool exhibition area – showcasing the rudimentary yet ingenious innovations created by soldiers and youth volunteer brigades.
Witness unexploded ordnance and war relics firsthand – painful artifacts of war dropped across this region by the US military.
Learn about the wartime logistics system – preserving supplies that once sustained the southern battlefields.
Explore Command Cave – a natural cavern transformed into a 7-tier military headquarters, serving as a venue for strategic command briefings, storage of provisions and medical goods, and an essential bomb shelter during wartime.
Participate in the VR360 virtual reality experience – sit aboard a 3-axle ZIL military truck, reliving the intense sensation of traversing steep hills and dodging airstrikes along this fiery supply lifeline.
Enjoy a meal infused with the distinctive flavors of Quang Binh featuring regional specialties, restoring your energy for the afternoon natural discovery.
After lunch, the group transfers to the boat wharf to embark on the journey exploring Phong Nha Cave—one of the most breathtaking and celebrated caves in Vietnam.
Board a boat drifting along the scenic Son River, venturing deep into the heart of the limestone mountain to admire the resplendent system of stalactites and stalagmites formed over millions of years.
Phong Nha Cave features Southeast Asia's longest underground river, standing as a masterpiece of nature and time that leaves every traveler captivated.
The vehicle transfers you back to Phong Nha or Dong Hoi. The journey concludes with profound emotions, from patriotic pride to admiration for the majestic splendor of nature.
