Ho Khanh in 1991, and became known internationally in 2009 thanks to British cavers, 
led by Howard Limbert. The cave was formed about 2 to 5 million years ago by river 
water eroding away the limestone underneath the mountain. It contains some of the tallest 
known stalagmites in the world - up to 70 metres tall. The cave is more than 200 metres 
wide, 150 metres high, and nearly 9 kilometres long, with caverns big enough to fit an 
entire street inside them. Son Doong Cave is recognised as the largest cave in the world 
by BCRA (British Cave Research Association) and selected as one of the most beautiful 
on earth by the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation).

now required to access the cave and are made available on a limited basis. Only 500 
permits were issued for the 2015 season, which runs from February to August. After 
August, heavy rains cause river levels to rise and make the cave largely inaccessible. CHECK THE INFORMATION
