With a total of 65 beautiful geological and geomorphological heritage sites, Dak Nong Geopark is the third Global Geopark in Vietnam. The park has been recognized by UNESCO as Dak Nong Global Geopark, which is also very important in the development of Dak Nong's tourism industry and is an ideal tourist destination for many visitors.
Where is Dak Nong Global Geopark?
Dak Nong Global Geopark is located in Dak Nong province, Vietnam with an area of over 4,700km2, covering 6 districts and towns including Dak Song, Dak Glong, Krong No, Gia Nghia, Dak Mil and Cu Jut. This is where all the remarkable values of geology, geomorphology, biodiversity and culture of the region are concentrated. The park currently has 65 geological heritage sites, including craters, waterfalls and nearly 50 caves with a total length of over 10km. Of these, 7 are international heritage sites.
This land has a history of more than 140 million years, with the process of formation and change, volcanic eruptions have covered half of the area with basalt lava layers. This has created the unique and largest volcanic cave system in Southeast Asia. Ancient geological heritages such as fossils of Ammonites, Clams, Bivalves... have proven that this land was once part of a vast ocean.

This is an attractive destination not only for nature lovers and geologists, but also for those who want to learn about the unique diversity of Dak Nong land.
Krong No Volcanic Cave System - Dung Nham Cave
The most prominent feature in Dak Nong Global Geopark is the Krong No volcanic cave system. This is also the most beautiful wonder in Southeast Asia located within the Dak Nong Global Geopark. With a total length of about 25km, from the Buon Choah crater to the Dray Sap waterfall area, these caves contain many archaeological relics proving that prehistoric humans lived here since the Paleolithic period.
Different from the limestone caves in Quang Binh, Quang Ninh, Ninh Binh, the cave system in Dak Nong Global Geopark has a unique structure with a basalt surface. Most of the volcanic caves here are shaped like tubes, ropes, lava balls and tubes within tubes. Some caves also have narrow passages connecting to each other to form circles. Among the caves here, Cave C7 is a tube-shaped volcanic cave, 1,066.5m long and thousands of meters wide, considered the largest and most beautiful volcanic cave in Southeast Asia.

Besides the main crater of Nam Kar, there are also sub-volcanoes and cinder cones around, along with the formation of fossil tree molds during volcanic eruptions. All of this has created a cluster of volcanoes with a unique and spectacular shape, one of the most beautiful and unique spots in the volcanic system in Dak Nong.
