RURAL LIFESTYLE


Phong Nha is much more than a national park with big caves.
It’s also a place to connect with people and discover the rural lifestyle of Vietnam. We can help you organize a meaningful day tour to meet locals in Bong Lai Valley, explore the mural village of Canh Duong, or simply enjoy authentic experiences around Phong Nha town with our tips and recommendations.

YOGA CULTURE

At Nguyen Shack, get ready for a rich cultural journey.
With our Indian yoga teacher, you’ll not only practice yoga and meditation, but also learn about the roots of this ancient discipline. Through engaging conversations, you’ll explore cultural differences between Vietnam, India, and the West.

BUDDHISM

Buddhism is the most practiced belief in Vietnam, and here at Nguyen Shack, we honor it
—through our decor and our conversations. We don’t just talk about Buddhism as a religion, but as a philosophy. As you may know, Buddhism does not revolve around a god—it’s more a way of seeing and understanding life.
