Lunch will be enjoyed in the Hung Ton Cave opening and then the adventure picks up again with some serious trekking from Hung Ton Valley and over to
Mango Mountain, then back down into
Tu Lan Valley (3 km). By midafternoon,
Tu Lan campsite will be on the horizon, where swimming can be enjoyed in the beautiful waterfall. Afternoon activities include exploring and
swimming through Ken Cave, located next to the campsite, and after that it's back to camp for a delicious
BBQ dinner. Sleep will come easy in comfortable hammocks or tents set up amongst the trees!
