The trip was very well organized. First of the trip, I saw a nice view to the wide grassland and a small stream, which is a good start for every trekking tour. However, at the last day, the weather turned bad a bit, it was rainy and we had to end the tour earlier.

I took the 3 days 2 night Hang Tien tour in mid January and I was very very happy with everything. It's challenging enough, very balanced between trekking, caving and relax in the wild. The food was great too, I appreciate the dedication of the cook and porters to cook meals for us in such a difficult condition, with no meal repeated twice.
