Detailed itinerary

Main activities

Sovaba Travel's vehicle and tour guide will pick you up at the center of Dong Hoi City. On the journey heading west, you will be introduced to the legendary Truong Son trail and the strategic role of "Route 20 – Quyet Thang" during the resistance war against the US.
The vehicle continues to take you to Command Cave – a secret base nestled deep in the forest, which once served as a coordination center for logistics, military provisions, and strategy for the entire Truong Son route.
- Trek along trails under the canopy of the primeval forest to reach Route K – a secret supply route where every tree and rock once served as shelter from bombs and artillery.
- Visit transfer stations, weapon display areas, road-building tools, and dioramas depicting the vivid reality of wartime life.
- Enter Command Cave – home to a system of command bunkers, medical stations, and supply depots deep underground, utilized by the Truong Son soldiers for many years.
- Experience VR360 virtual reality technology on a military ZIL truck, simulating the sensation of crossing through "fire coordinates" like wartime soldiers.
Relax and enjoy traditional Quang Binh specialties at a riverside restaurant, surrounded by fresh air and tranquil scenery.
An energetic and refreshing afternoon packed with unique activities:
- Glide across a zipline spanning over 400m over the Chay River – an exhilarating rush amidst majestic forests and mountains.
- Explore Dark Cave equipped with headlamps, venturing deep into the mountain's interior with natural mineral mud.
- Enjoy a natural mud bath right inside the cave – a fun and truly one-of-a-kind experience.
- Paddle a kayak at leisure, swim freely, and challenge yourself with thrilling water games.
The vehicle transfers the group back to Phong Nha or Dong Hoi. The journey concludes with fulfilling emotions: from national pride when stepping into historic grounds to refreshing smiles after an afternoon immersed in nature.
