(Dan Tri) - As an adventurous person, Le Ho Uy Di (31 years old, living in District 8, Ho Chi Minh City) registered to explore a nearly 3,000m long cave in 3 days. The trip brought the young girl many unforgettable experiences.
Ruc Mon is a cave with a length of 2,862m, a ceiling height of about 300m, stretching from Trung Hoa commune to Hoa Son commune (Minh Hoa district, Quang Binh province). The reason the cave has this special name is because it used to be home to the ethnic minority community of Ruc and Mon (Photo: Khoa Chaudoc). Ruc Mon Cave is located in the eco -tourism area of Quang Binh, which was recently put into operation in 2017. With its enormous size, to fully explore it, visitors need to choose a trekking journey of at least 2 days and 1 night (Photo: Khoa Chaudoc). At the end of November, Ms. Le Ho Uy Di signed up to explore the cave for 3 days. Because she had experience in trekking in countless famous places around the world such as Everest Base Camp (Nepal), Northwest..., Ms. Di only prepared 4 sets of light, easy-to-dry clothes and a pair of specialized shoes to start the journey (Photo: Khoa Chaudoc).
Initially, to get to the store, Ms. Di had to walk 2km. Then, she went through vertical walls using ladders and safety ropes. Notably, the cave is separated from the river, so the explorers had to swim across and squeeze into corners of the cave that were just big enough for a human body (Photo: Khoa Chaudoc).
In return for the hardship, Ms. Di was able to admire a natural masterpiece. Accordingly, inside the cave there are 400m high stalactites, called Foggy stalactites, covered in thick fog all year round. Notably, on the top of the mountain there is also the corpse of a family of dead snakes, which is called the snake grave by the locals (Photo: Khoa Chaudoc). In addition, people can also experience swimming in the clear emerald green water inside the cave (Photo: Khoa Chaudoc). A memorable experience for Ms. Di was that when leaving the cave, visitors would normally use a ladder prepared in advance. However, when Ms. Di arrived, the ladder had been swept away by the floodwaters, forcing her to jump freely from the cliff into the river. Although she knew how to swim and had a safety rope, Ms. Di was still scared (Photo: Khoa Chaudoc). "Everyone gathered together to cheer me up. It wasn't until the tour guide held my hand and jumped down together, completing the challenge, that I felt an indescribable feeling, just drifting on the water," said Di (Photo: Khoa Chaudoc). As an experienced person, Ms. Di shares her passion for Vietnamese nature and culture. In the future, she still wishes to have many trips to see with her own eyes the most magnificent landscapes of Vietnam (Photo: Khoa Chaudoc).
