Phong Nha Lakehouse
About Phong Nha Lakehouse
Phong Nha Lakehouse is a simple lakeside hotel on the edge of Phong Nha National Park and a comfortable base for exploring the area, including the magnificent cave systems of the park.
Accommodation consists of 8 lake-side bungalows and 6 villas set around the pool area.
Bungalows are located right on the lake’s edge, a stone’s throw away from the main Lake House and are perfect for couples seeking some privacy away from the main hotel.
The air-con bungalows are spacious with comfortable furniture, King-size beds, private balconies, relaxing garden areas and large en-suite bathrooms.
Villas feature four-poster beds and are situated in the main hotel area around the swimming pool.
What's so Special?
The location is great and this is the best option in the area for exploring Phong Nha National Park. Rooms are spacious and comfortable and the staff very friendly and helpful.
Grab a bike, a free map and get exploring the local area.
Day 1: Hanoi – Phong Nha
You will be collected from your hotel in Hanoi and transferred to the airport for your short midday flight to Dong Hoi where you will be met and transferred to Phong Nha Lakehouse where you should arrive around 1:30 pm.
The rest of the day is at leisure. We suggest using the hotel bikes and free map to explore the local area. Alternatively you may wish to relax around the resort or add on another excursion.
Overnight: Phong Nha Lakehouse
Meals: Breakfast included
Day 2: Hang En Cave
You will be collected from Phong Nha Lakehouse around 7:30 for your short transfer to the departure point where you will collect your gear before a 45 minute drive through the National Park to reach the trailhead. At 10:00 am, leave the road behind for the jungle.
A steep jungle hill starts the journey, with a refreshing river at the bottom. Hike through rich primary forest to reach the Ban Doong minority village, where a hot cup of tea welcomes you.
Enjoy a picnic lunch near the river before continuing the trek through the jungle, crossing rivers and streams and along the river valley until Hang En Cave is on the horizon.
Enter Hang En around 3 pm and take a rest as the porter team sets up camp on the beach within the cave.
For the next couple of hours, complete the adventure by advancing the rest of the way through the cave to the breathtaking exit, a scene made famous in the film Pan.
Return to camp through the dry passage to the viewpoint high above camp, where 300 million year old fossils can be seen.
Enjoy your downtime relaxing or swimming in the natural pool before a sizzling grilled dinner is served, complete with rice wine and the sounds of swifts overhead.
Overnight: Hang En Adventure Camp
Meals: All meals included
Day 3: Hang En Cave – Phong Nha
Get up for breakfast around 8 am for a 9 am departure. Take one last look at the entrance, almost hidden amongst the jungle and then trek 1 km along a riverside path with several river crossings upstream to the Hang Lanh entrance.
Arrive around 10 am, and spend the next two hours exploring the first km of Hang Lanh, which has earned the name “Cold Cave” for a reason! This is a 4 km long wet cave with magnificent formations, a cold river inside and many rare fossils.
After lunch it’s time to start the journey home. Trek for the next hour along a shady path through the river valley.
Make your way up the hill to the pickup point, where a driver will be waiting to take you back to civilization around 4pm. Return to Phong Nha around 5 pm.
