Chay Lap Farmstay is located just beyond the Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park's entrance on the West Branch of Ho Chi Minh Trail. Chay Lap is about 15 kilometers from Phong Nha town and 60 kilometers from Dong Hoi city. Thanks to the development of the tourism industry, this area has slowly become a popular tourist destination for both local and foreign visitors in recent years.
Rustic Chay Lap - Chay Lap Countryside, the first community tourist destination in Phong Nha and Quang Binh province, was developed in February 2009 with support from the US Department of Agriculture and co-organized by Counterpart International. The day-to-day operations were overseen by the Chay Lap Village Community Tourism Cooperative. Rustic Chay Lap was established at the time to employ locals by delivering rustic rural experiences to guests from all over the world who came to Phong Nha to enjoy the ideal beauty of the nature and locals.
Chay Lap Farmstay is carrying on the great work that Chay Lap Countryside started, with the primary purpose of producing income and improving the lives of local communities by hiring 80-90 percent locals, many of whom have been with Chay Lap Community since the beginning.
