Please be informed that there are no tourist facilities in Dong Cao now. Bathrooms and toilets are available in local families only and they are in rudimentary conditions.
On this adventure, we have to bring along camping gears and cooking utensils,... and we have to hire local porters to assist with these things to the campsite from the village. In the case you want to reduce the trip costs by sharing some of the jobs, please let us know when requesting the tour.
The trip can be extended for 1-2 extra nights so that you can go further and explore the Khe Ro Forest (10km from Dong Cao). It is also convenient to travel further to Halong Bay then return to Hanoi which takes at least another night.
