Nguom Ngao Cave

The limestone cave system of Nguom Ngao is fully lit and it is easy to spend more than one-hour witnessing mother nature do what she does best.

Just 4 kilometers from the stunning Ban Gioc Waterfalls lies Nguom Ngao Cave, a magnificent limestone cavern renowned for its breathtaking stalactites in a dazzling array of shapes and sizes. As one of Northern Vietnam’s most celebrated limestone caves, it holds a special place in local lore. The name "Nguom Ngao" translates to "Tiger Cave" in the Tay language, a nod to the fierce predators that once roamed its depths, preying on livestock—and occasionally humans. While words can hint at its grandeur, nothing compares to experiencing the cave in person. Its scale, beauty, and mystery are best appreciated firsthand.
