When it comes to trekking adventures in the caves of Quang Binh, many think of Phong Nha Cave and Son Doong Cave. However, there are two lesser-known but equally fascinating caves - Hang Over and Pygmy.

The 2-day, 1-night trek to Hang Over and Pygmy in Quang Binh, organized by Jungle Boss, is a moderately challenging tour. It poses a significant challenge for those without a solid fitness foundation or regular physical activity. However, covering approximately 20km of varying terrain, navigating through the pristine jungles of Phong Nha - Ke Bang, participants will experience the majestic beauty bestowed by nature. This journey is an opportunity to temporarily disconnect from the 'tech life' and immerse oneself, 'blend with nature,' as most of this expedition will be 'beyond the phone signal coverage.'

Speaking of these two caves, while not as famous as their close 'siblings,' they both hold prestigious ranks.
Hang Over is the 6th largest cave in the world, and Pygmy Cave ranks 4th, according to the assessment by the Royal Cave Association of the UK. Cave evaluations and rankings are largely based on volume and certain internal conditions.
Hang Over, with a length of 3.2km, boasts a spacious entrance and interior, accommodating several cars side by side. According to the guides, the name 'Hang Over' was given by the Royal Cave Association of the UK during their survey in 1997. While camping outside the cave, they would enjoy drinks, and upon entering the cave, members would jokingly accuse each other of being 'hang over,' temporarily nauseated due to alcohol. Hence, the name 'Hang Over' stuck.
Trekking Hang Over and Pygmy
As for Pygmy Cave, it's shorter, measuring less than 1km, but impressively vast and challenging. There are even sections where one must traverse using ropes. Locals initially called it 'Hang Én Rục Cà Roong,' but due to the name similarity with Hang Én, the world's third-largest cave in Quang Binh, it was later unified and renamed Pygmy Cave.
Pygmy refers to the smallest ethnic group in Africa, symbolizing the notion that people become diminutive within this cave.
In Pygmy Cave, we'll experience the fascinating sensation of bathing in cold water around 18°C beneath a small underwater lake deep within the cave, in complete darkness, even darker than the black of an OLED screen.

The bathing spot within Pygmy Cave reaches depths of 5-10 meters, with a width of 3 meters and a length of 30 meters. Below, there's an underground stream system, though the flow is gentle, making it imperceptible while swimming
When out of signal range, with no 4G, Zalo, Facebook, or Instagram, our communication becomes richer, even more enjoyable and relaxed.
However, if you crave a unique experience without completely detaching from technology, you can still bring compact mobile devices with pre-loaded offline content to enhance the trekking experience. Yet, it's crucial to ensure clear and sizable content projection for the entire group to enjoy.
Given the conditions mentioned, a 'mini-size' projector like Samsung The Freestyle emerges as the ultimate choice. It allows you to project sharp Full HD images on a colossal screen of up to 100 inches, even in seemingly 'impossible' spaces.
Stable Performance in Every Space and Position
The mini projector Samsung The Freestyle brings vibrant, breathtaking image experiences in caves or directly onto the wall of your portable tent, eliminating the need for a screen. This is a significant advantage, as virtually no other product on the market can achieve this at the current moment. It's made possible thanks to the intelligent Auto Keystone and Autofocus features, along with the flexible 360-degree projection angle adjustment.
Another plus point of The Freestyle is its straightforward power supply, requiring only a standard PD 50W power bank.

In summary, the trek to Hang Over and Pygmy offers a novel and exciting trekking experience. In terms of difficulty, it's slightly more challenging than trekking to the summit of Lao Than and comparable to ascending Ta Chi Nhu. This is evidently an interesting blend of lightweight technology experience for trekking enthusiasts, alongside other enjoyable experiences along the journey exploring the world's fourth-largest cave duo.
*** Note: For this trekking tour, the operating unit also requires a minimum age of 15 for the safest participation.
