Discover Vietnam's Mysterious Rat Cave

#vietnamtrip Rat Cave is one of the most atmospheric and little-known caves in the Tam Coc / Ninh Binh area. There are no crowds of tourists, and you can feel like a true explorer: narrow passages, dark corridors, stalactites, and stone vaults illuminated only by your flashlight. Despite the name, you'll rarely encounter rats there—the name is historical. 📍 Location Tam Coc area, Ninh Binh. Usually visited as part of a tour of Mua Cave / Hang Mua, as the cave is located close to this area. ⏰ Visiting time Exploration takes 20-30 minutes. It's best to visit during the day when there's natural light at the entrance. 🧭 What awaits you inside Low corridors, sometimes requiring a slight bend. Semi-dark passages, stalactites, and natural "chambers." Small areas of water after rainfall. Completely lacking crowds. 🌿 Tips Comfortable shoes with good traction—the rocks are wet. ✨ Why it's worth it This is one of the most non-touristy and atmospheric experiences in Ninh Binh: silence, semi-darkness, and a true sense of adventure, unlike more popular and crowded locations. 🛖You can stay in the village of Phong Nha; a wide list of hotels is available on trip.com
