I just spent Son Doong cave exploring and Oxalis travel company in the UK. This is the only tour company Vietnam government licensed a total of 12/20 mining cave in Quang Binh, including new caves as Son Doong, Heaven ...
Our trip lasted 7 days 6 nights. Start and end dates in Dong Hoi, the remaining 5 days, 4 nights in the cave.
Quang Binh after 12 years to meet again
Pick me up at the airport as Bamboo - Oxalis staff, a young man from Quang Binh, 28, rough, tough, a guy like "phượt" literally (I love bikes, motorcycles and mountain climbing). Sitting on the bus from the airport to the Phong Nha alone with the driver, outdoor is 37 ° C sweltering heat, I knew that in this time 10 people in the cave there is an additional 72 Notes Vietnamese people from Hanoi . So not alone speaks Vietnamese during the mission, I think.
This is the second time I returned to Quang Binh after 12 years. This land change much, roadside houses were built very much. I get a room at Saigon - Phong Nha, the region's biggest hotel is located next to the river Son - where passenger in Phong Nha boat crossing each day, and about 2km from Oxalis office.
Son River bewitching beautiful afternoon. The sandy riverbed and algae, like soft cotton blanket at home. Have made great efforts to not jump um which floated down the river for fear of late appointment before meeting with Oxalis trip. At high school, every day I was hiding out mother swam Cash waterfront, past the other party take isles.

Members of Son doong cave expedition
In the afternoon, after returning from the Son River, and Bamboo car Oxalis delegation to the office of Oxalis. By this time ten new members meet, with three young girls from the Abu Dhabi (Arab) did not wear the veil, another girl my age come from Australia, three middle-aged men from Mexico, I and uncle Marine Hanoian. Members of the Oxalis trip plastic bags for packing luggage automatically transferred into the cave, this will be baggage porters carrying locally in the cave, and returned to the hotel each evening.
Offices are also located along the river Oxalis Son, and in the most beautiful sections immediately. Across the river bank is a small valley, with a pale yellow church is located at the foot of the mountain, alternating between red tile roof homes. Here, I also met Howard Limbert and wife Deb Limbert (who co-discovered with his Son Doong Ho Khanh) is also operating two Oxalis Tourism Company.
Bamboo said, is located near the stretch Son Xuan Son ferry terminal, where many people have lost the battle in the Mau Than 1968 days ago, the pontoon bridge over the River teams do in the evenings, during the day I hid pontoons Phong Nha cave in. Enemy dropping bombs, the dead laden truck, and this stretch since it is very sacred. At that point I remembered to Con Dao and somewhat chillingly.
I am quite surprised to know that the team pay Thuy Xuan Son plugged in before, and uncle had just conquered Mount Fanxipan few months ago. I take my hat of uncle 72 years old admiration

Howard Limbert and pride Son Doong
Howard Limbert started talking about the Son Doong with passion proudly. He also raised the safety rules for members. Let me summarize the safety rules for the expedition from the conversation of Howard:
Ramp's total trip is about 60 km, of which more than 10 km is in the cave. The path is not flat, the mountain to climb, sometimes go under deep, up and down, down and up, so during the go in the cave.
The group included two British experts cave, a Vietnamese guide, two support staff, Vietnamese, two cooks, two rangers, twenty porters (porter) and ten guests. This is probably the reason the tour price equal to a European tour (over 60 million Vietnam dong). 10 travelers have to close 30 support staff. Until the present time, there are less than 700 people in the cave (the cave was discovered in 2010), of which more than 70 Vietnamese people (I was 72 minutes), and many people had to give up halfway because too strenuous.
Due to the difficulty of exploring so participants must have health and experience of climbing, adventure travel, so the tour is classified expedition (expedition) instead of exploring tour.
Journey to the cave is calculated so that the maximum preservation of the status quo Son Doong, the lowest limit any changes to the ecological environment in the cave. That's why personal hygiene in the cave is quite limited for various reasons, you should be prepared for wet towels to wipe the people instead of a bath.
Defecate in the cave will follow the following procedure: with the big bucket in the tent are covered, you defecate in buckets, then immediately had to use sandy stubble (provided alongside) over substance waste to prevent odors. The bucket is then transported out of the cave porter.
Cave ecosystem is unique. There are many species of animals and plants were first discovered in the world. There are two miniature jungle in a cave, in which monkeys, flying foxes, birds wingspan of up to 1.2m. Hoard also said, in the woods, on the road to the cave of the tiger and bear few, only a few places one night camping km. Howard and his colleagues are planning to Son Doong is recognized as the World Natural Wonder (wonder world).
Howard stopped talking about the Son Doong evening at 7 hours 15 minutes, but it looks like he still wants to say, Son Doong seems to have a personal pride he already.
So ended the first day!
8 am the next day, the group will depart for breakfast and 20km road section (sunny overhead and submerged below the navel) enters Hang En - door leading into Son Doong.
I shall "advise tempering" Son river swim early in the next morning, before the boat carrying tourists into the Phong Nha cave river occupies.
I prepared for the first expedition like?
All equipment necessary for use in the cave (5 days) will be minimal as possible, closed in plastic bags and transferred to the porter to carry on weighs about 3kg my hang.Tui (medicines, toiletries, clothing clothing, spare batteries, machinery) But requisites along the way, I have to play on backpack and carry on shoulder (water, cameras, medical aid, protective gear climbing, clothes to change )
With about 20km long road the first day of climbing and wading rocky waist-deep streams, under a harsh sun 38 degrees, it will be heavy 5kg 50kg on his back.
waiting his diary on the next day
