On the final morning of this trip, we visited Hang Tien 1 and Hang Tien 2. If memory serves right, we walked through Hang Tien 1 and then got to Hang Tien 2. These caves are massive. The entrance was so large. I can’t fathom how much water was rushing through here to make this ginormous hole in the side of a mountain.
I forgot to mention, near our third camp site, was a pool of water carved into the side of the mountain. It was practically underneath a cliff. We walked by this pool, or if you wanted, swam over, several times. I swam over a couple times. The first time we came across it, we were setting up camp, so i just dove in to swim around.
Later I learned that the pool has no bottom. It’s literally the beginning of the river we’ve been following. Many of the river crossings was water that came from this hole in the ground. So cool. And creepy.
In mid afternoon, we trekked up to a designated point to meet a van that would take us back to Chay Lap. I was so happy to see the van. Not only cause we didn’t have to walk anymore, but because it had dry clothes. Changing into dry clothes after being wet for 4 days felt amazing.
Back at Chay Lap, I enjoyed a steam sauna, some awesome dinner, and slept in a bed. Until 3:30am at least, cause that’s when I left to head down to Hoi An.
