The experience of being 7km deep in Paradise cave

Most visitors who have been to Paradise cave, located in Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park, are only allowed to explore just the first 1km into this cave along a wooden staircase and boardwalk under bright lights. Very few, however, know that there is the unique experience of going 7km deeper into the cave for adventurous cavers.
