Tien Son Cave is located in the Ke Bang Mountain, beneath other caves. Nearby, only 400m away, is the famous Phong Nha Cave. It seems the two caves are different stages of cave development. As Tien Son is much higher, it is the older, fossil level. It is a dry cave, as the level of the karst groundwater is below at the level of Phong Nha. This cave is developed for 400m, with paths and electric light.
