This is the first community tourism development in Quang Binh and Phong Nha. In March 2016, the People’s Committee of Quang Binh decided to allow Oxalis to take over and develop Chay Lap, with the goal of bringing income and improving the living standards of the local community while still retaining the rustic beauty of the Chay village (also known as Chay Lap town).

This farmstay has an area of 1.8ha, fully covered by jungle, due to its location at the entrance to one of the most famous World natural heritage sites - Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park. Chay Lap Farmstay is located in one of the most beautiful locations near the National Park with access to many local attractions. While staying at Chay Lap Farmstay Quang Binh, the farmstay will offer tourists many opportunities for activities and interesting cultural experiences, leaving tourists from all over the world with memories and a good impression of a beautiful and hospitable Vietnam.
