Botanical Garden

Welcome to the Jungle!

 

A great DIY destination. It’s not really a Botanical Garden in the traditional sense of the term, but a unique opportunity to experience immersion in the lush jungle that covers the limestone mountains making up the park.

The area is a 40 hectare managed sector of the Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park boasting over 500 plant species within the ecosystem. Located a few Kilometers inside the park along Highway 20 and Approximately 12 kilometers from Phong Nha Village, or 20km from Phog Nha Farmstay, it’s best reached by Phong Nha Rider Motorcycle Taxi or by renting a scooter. You can get here by private car, or by bicycle, but be careful retuning down the steep road, as there have been a few bicycle accidents over the years. its been open.
