Chu B'Luk volcanic cave is located in Krong No district, Dak Nong province, in the longest volcanic cave system in Southeast Asia.

At Chu B'Luk volcano, there is a system of more than 100 large and small caves, formed by lava flows millions of years ago, hidden in basalt rock. The 2,000 square kilometer volcanic cave system extends from Krong No district to several neighboring communes of Cu Giut, Dak Min, Dak Song, Dak Glong district, and Gia Nghia town.

This is a completely new place for people who love to travel and explore because it was only discovered in 2014. Therefore, the cave complex still retains its inherent wildness.

Chu Bluk volcanic cave complex, also known as the Doi (Bat) Cave, stretches around 25km from the Dray Sap Waterfall to Buon Choah Cave. It includes more than 100 large and small caves thanks to the flow of lava millions of years ago, hidden in basalt. According to researchers, the process of forming large and small caves inside took place 3,700 years ago by volcanic eruptions.

The path to Chu Bluk comprises a 9km trekking route that is scary but exciting as people have to walk on an uneven path covered with volcanic stones and wild grass. The entire journey offers charming views of the blue sky and majestic mountains.

The cave can be observed from afar because it is located in the middle of a large empty hill area that stands out with its stunning scenery.

Chu Bluk is cool all year round. Therefore, tourists can visit the cave at any time. Late spring and summer is a favorable time because of the sunny weather and low possibility of rain, allowing tourists to approach the cave and take stunning photos easily.

With not too high difficulty, trekking to explore the Chu B'luk volcanic cave is an activity chosen by many tourists.

This place is covered in darkness, occasionally there are a few rays of light through the cracks in the rocks, and the air is damp and cool.

Tourists explore the cave using the "abseiling" technique. This is the movement of moving along a rope from top to bottom, possibly from cliffs or cave sinkholes.

The ideal trip to Chu Bluk volcanic cave is in the spring or summer when the vegetation is green and the weather is beautiful without rain. Visitors should limit travel during the rainy season to have a pleasant trip.

Besides trekking activities, travelers can also cycle to visit villages, cross coffee fields, or explore other destinations such as Dray Nur and Luu Ly waterfalls.

The cave system is complex and difficult to access, so tourists should contact the forest management board and hire local guides to ensure safety.
