Special Experiences By Season When Explore Hang Tien

Distinctive experience at Hang Tien in spring

The spring season in Hang Tien typically begins in March and continues through the end of May each year. During this time, the weather in Tan Hoa - Cao Quang gradually warms up, but it is not overly hot. Most of the time tours take place within the forest, underneath the shade of trees. This is the season when you will have the opportunity to admire the blossoming of various spring flowers and watch many species of birds compete for perching on branches along the river. In particular, from April to May, it is also the breeding season for a wide variety of colorful butterfly species, adding a vibrant and lively touch to the already beautiful natural scenery.

The weather is stable

The weather in the area is starting to be a little warmer this season, with temperatures ranging from 20 to 25 degrees Celsius. This is a very suitable time to go trekking through the jungle over the hills. During this season, the temperature in Hang Tien is quite stable, so customers will not feel too tired or exhausted.

Fresh mountain forest scenery

Spring is the season of trees sprouting new buds, fresh green shoots and birds spreading their wings and soaring through the air. These are undoubtedly the picturesque scenes that travelers can expect to encounter when choosing to explore Hang Tien during the spring season. The rejuvenating mountain forest scenery will invigorate travelers, providing them with a positive source of energy and a thrilling start to the new year.

Clearly observe the Milky Way at the campsite

Hang Tien campsite is highly rated by many travelers as the most beautiful campsite in the Tu Lan - Hang Tien region. It is a picturesque campsite nestled in lush green mountains, with fresh air and a serene landscape. It's an ideal spot for stargazing, including Milky Way observation in Hang Tien.

Nestled in a vast valley, on the backdrop of a smooth sandy beach adjacent to a clear stream, Hang Tien's campsite offers visitors the opportunity to fully admire the starry sky at night. During the crisp spring evenings, visitors also have the chance to witness the Milky Way galaxy. On bright moonlit nights, the moonlight will illuminate the entire campsite area, and travelers will turn off all their tent lights so that the moon can be the only source of light. Together, they will enjoy enchanting moments immersed in the mesmerizing natural surroundings.

Summer

The summer season in Hang Tien typically begins from June to the end of August. There are always sunny days with an average outdoor temperature ranging from 27 to 37 degrees Celsius. Moreover, by participating in the summer tours, visitors also have the opportunity to swim in Hang Tien's natural lake next to the campsite.

A refreshing trekking trail

In the summertime, the weather can become quite hot, with temperatures ranging from 30 to 35 degrees Celsius. Nevertheless, this temperature range will not significantly affect the tour itinerary, as two-thirds of the journey is spent mainly moving under the forest canopy or inside the caves, through valleys surrounded by massive limestone mountains with gentle breezes, providing a refreshing and invigorating atmosphere.

After passing through a stretch of wild forest and towering ancient trees, visitors can stop to admire the beauty of the landscape here and enjoy the gentle coolness inside the cave before embarking on the adventure of exploring Hang Tien.

The vast cave with a stable temperature

Hang Tien is the largest and oldest cave in the Tu Lan Cave System. Along with the underground river in Hang Tien, the temperature here remains stable at around 22 to 25 degrees Celsius.

Especially, when participating in a 2-day exploration of Hang Tien, visitors also have the opportunity to experience a "natural air conditioner" right at the entrance of Hang Tien 2. The small entrance to the cave belies the large interior of Hang Tien, and the source of the cool breeze blowing out from the cave may come from the underground river flowing deep below the cave floor. The entrance to the cave acts as a funnel, sucking in a large amount of air and blowing it out into the surrounding area, providing a refreshing and cool breeze to relieve the heat of summer. Visitors who arrive at the cave can take a break to cool off before embarking on the exploration of Hang Tien 2.

Experience swimming in the natural swimming pool at the campsite

Located next to the campsite is an underground stream that visitors of Oxalis Adventure have given a resounding name: “natural infinity pool”. The water source emerges from beneath the ground. Although it has only been measured to be around 15 meters deep, it is estimated that the underground stream could be even deeper. This camping spot is situated beside a branch of Rao Nan River, which is also the final section of the underground river system before it flows into the ocean. Because the water "sprouts" from underground, it almost never runs out, and the water temperature is ideal, warm in winter and cool in summer, with temperatures ranging from 20 to 25 degrees Celsius. As a natural "sprouting" water pool, it has a clean and clear water source, where you can swim and relax your body after a day of trekking in the Hang Tien area. In addition, you can capture beautiful and impressive photos here.

Distinctive experience at Hang Tien in autumn

The fall season starts in September and ends in November. This season usually has storms that cause floods for a few days. Therefore, Oxalis Adventure usually does not organize tours to explore the water caves from mid-September to mid-November. However, depending on the weather conditions each year, some dry caves in the area like Hang Tien 1, which are not affected by the floods, can still welcome visitors to explore. Especially in this season, visitors can witness the waterfall pouring down from the ceiling of Hang Tien, creating a majestic scene. This is considered one of the rarest images.

Distinctive experience at Hang Tien in winter

Winter mountain climbing trips always bring us a lot of inspiration and a more spectacular view of the natural scenery. This is also when the fire in the hearts of those who are passionate about trekking in the mountains burns even more fiercely. Quang Binh is famous for its rugged and majestic limestone mountain ranges, always attracting nature lovers and explorers whenever they come here. Especially with the tours to explore Hang Tien - part of the Tu Lan Cave System, it will be a place to ignite your passion for mountain climbing every winter.

Enjoyable weather

Exploring Hang Tien during the winter season allows your body to lose less water and feel less exhausted. Additionally, it's an excellent opportunity for your body to sweat and release energy more efficiently. Therefore, you can indulge in trekking to your heart's content.

When participating in Hang Tien Cave tours from 1 to 4 days, travelers will be able to indulge in their passion for trekking in nature, as all tours feature dramatic trekking routes with rugged terrain, continuous steep rock slopes and crossing dry riverbeds with large boulders stretching along the river. The deeper you go inside, the more majestic the tropical forest and mountainous region become, leading you to a mysterious world inside Hang Tien.

Exploring magnificent dry caves

In the Hang Tien adventure trips, the main activities are trekking through the forest and exploring the dry caves, notably Hang Tien 1 and Hang Tien 2, with their unique and spectacular limestone formations. One of the most outstanding features is the mysterious spiral-shaped vault or the stacked layers of limestone resembling terraced fields, which create a breathtaking natural landscape.

Swimming in underground rivers is not a common activity in most tours. Only on the 3-day Hang Tien and 4-day Tu Lan tours (which include exploring Hang Tien), visitors will have the opportunity to swim in the underground river, but only for a short distance in Hang Ton, Hang Kim, and Hang Ken. When swimming, visitors are required to wear life jackets to ensure absolute safety. In case the water level is too low at this time, visitors will be transported by boat to explore the caves.

Unique experiences

Joining the Hang Tien discovery tours, travelers will experience the most unique activities of adventure and trekking tours in Vietnam. They will wade through streams, and cross rough and slippery terrain to reach the hidden cave entrances behind the forests. Explore the wonders of the caves, the beautiful stalactites and stalagmites inside Hang Tien.

In addition, you will experience climbing with a 10m safety rope or adventurous Flying Fox zip-lining when the water level in the cave rises during the Hang Tien exploration tours. Even more thrilling, you will get to experience abseiling to descend into the cave. This is one of the most exciting activities of adventure tourism and is only available in the 4-day Tu Lan exploration tour.

Cozy campsite with a warm charcoal stove

On the Hang Tien exploration journey, you will camp in picturesque natural locations. Especially in winter, you will have the opportunity to experience the Jungle Steambath service - a herbal sauna that helps you relax after long hours of exhausting activities when you return to the campsite. This promises to be something you will enjoy when camping in this cold winter.

A well-prepared hot dinner is considered a worthy reward for your efforts in overcoming challenges. Delicious dishes are cooked by the chef directly on the tour. Members of the team will gather around the warm charcoal stove, roast sweet potatoes and corn, and share stories about the mountains and forests or about real life outside.

The cozy atmosphere combined with the peaceful surroundings of the jungle and the sound of flowing streams blending with lively conversations will surely leave unforgettable emotions for many visitors.

The best time to visit Hang Tien is subjective since every season offers a distinct experience and creates unforgettable memories for each visitor. Therefore, in order to have memorable and meaningful trips, visitors can explore and choose the most suitable option for themselves. However, at different times, Hang Tien will surely bring visitors a unique experience, a land with an invisible enchantment that makes the feet of the "adventurers" always want to return.
