BAN GIOC - DID YOU KNOW THIS PLACE EXISTED IN VIETNAM!?! Cao Bang Travel Vlog

Join us this week as we are in the Northeastern province of Cao Bang in Vietnam and are on a mission in search for some of the most awe-inspiring and unique natural wonders Vietnam has to offer. To reach these places we will be travelling to some of the most remote regions to see for ourselves the most BEAUTIFUL WATERFALL in all of Vietnam and the holy grail Angel Eye Mountain!
This is a goodie, you're not gonna wanna miss it! ;)
Don't forget to share you're thoughts and SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss the next episode!
👫 About us:
Oh & we should probably introduce ourselves...
We are Benny and Meeka, a travel couple from Australia who have been travelling on and off for 10 years and even lived in the UK from 2019 - 2021.
We are currently in SE Asia and are making our way back to the UK to reunite with our Mercedes Sprinter van we purchased before the world shut down and we left back to Aus.
About 4 months ago we decided to document our travels as we make our way across the globe, so join us for the ride.
Disclaimer:
In saying that, we have a lot to learn in the filming world and please note we filmed everything with our iPhone, but have currently upgraded our equipment so our videos will be better quality in the future.
Hope you enjoy the first vlog.
Thanks, Benny & Meeka

Caves make us go “Oooh” while waterfalls make us go “Aahhh” and Vietnam have both.

[@bennyandmeeka]

oh we love this! So true, Vietnam is full of amazing places!

[@20luzer52]

Gorgeous scenery in a very unique topography. I can imagine the Spring and Summer would be great for camping at the base of the mountains. Lovely Vietnamese people.

[@bennyandmeeka]

its truly a beautiful place! We would love to go back in the warmer months and try camping! 🤗

[@sharksea1421]

If you want to camp, it's best to have a team or a local, it's not very safe to be alone. Wish you both a great trip ❤

[@sharksea1421]

Yes you're right haha You have a funny but also profound look 😢

[@mattrudy823]

I still wonder...😅

[@caobangecotravel]

We having a camping site at that Angel Eye Moutain called Cao Bang Eco Camping. We prepare everything like tent, sleeping bag, chair table light and eco flow charger, we also have wifi since phone signal quite week and also local take care of you the whole time, so you ươn’t be alone ;). 1 combo already incluede dinner and breakfast. You don’t have to prepare anything, just come and enjoy the nature ;)

[@doodahgurlie]

The ending...I think Benny's mating call was well-received. 🤣😂🤣 I always wonder how friendly the water buffaloes are and if you can pet them. They look really friendly to me and I'm happy to see them able to just roam around beautiful country like that. BTW, I think both sides of the waterfall used to belong to Vietnam, but they gave it up a while back. That's unfortunate, as it would have been wonderful to have all of the falls and the tall mountains on the other side, too...that's where all the Chinese are building stuff.

[@bennyandmeeka]

HAHA! We think the buffalo loved having a chat with Ben! It was very cool to be up so close and admiring the size and the gentle giants they are. Thats super interesting about the waterfall, we might just have to go to the China side so we can enjoy the view from both sides 🤣

China is a mean neighbor, Their hobby is to be aggressive with neighboring countries.

[@antn8387]

Those drone captures are incredible

[@bennyandmeeka]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@lamar6007]

Awesome waterfall footage especially with the drone😍😊👍… the mountains, and rice fields remind me of being in Sapa

[@bennyandmeeka]

Thanks so much! It really is so beautiful 😀

[@destinationdezz1588]

Beautiful drone footage! This too is a bucket list for me as well! Will be visiting in November! May I ask where did you fly your drone from to capture the waterfall?

[@duong3018]

Cách du ngoạn rất ấn tượng thú vị... 2 bạn thật đẹp đôi !

[@bennyandmeeka]

Thank you so much for your kind words 😃

[@zantigar]

You are very sensitive vloggers - just that short clip of the child running into the street to retrieve a toy is such a precious detail, and reveals your responsiveness to the charm of Cao Bang - and wow, those drone shots of the EYE - BRAVO!

[@bennyandmeeka]

Aw thank you, this is such a sweet comment 🥹☺️ we really want to show the videos through our eyes, we’re so pleased you found the little details as wholesome as us🙏🏽🤗

[@waterfall8686]

Welcome to Vietnam! Have a nice trip!

[@bennyandmeeka]

Thank you so much 😀

[@doodahgurlie]

The landscape of northern Vietnam is unreal! Some amazing drone footage of the waterfall and the Angel Eye Mountain. I wonder how big the falls get during the rainy season and if one can actually climb up to that opening of the eye. Is all the luggage for the cameras and clothes for shoots? That's a lot of stuff to lug around, unless you're doing it for marketing/sales purposes. Wow.

[@bennyandmeeka]

It really is incredible! Yes so much stuff to carry around we liked to be prepared as much as possible and we drink a lot of water 🤣 We do carry a lot of camere stuff as we enjoy capturing the landscapes and are true animal lovers!

[@vaughnchambers8790]

Great cinematography and Vlog, really enjoyable to watch your chanell.

[@bennyandmeeka]

Thanks so much! We are so glad you liked the video 😃

[@vaughnchambers8790]

@@bennyandmeeka I did the Ha Giang Loop with a mate in October 2022 we rode 700 klms from Ha Giang through the loop and then rode from Meo Vac to Cao Bang, then rode from Cao Bang to Ban Gioc waterfall, then took a mini van back to Hanoi. The weather was sunny, blue skies and 33 degrees, except for 1 rainy day in Cao Bang.

I dunno it’s like you guys are in some kinda medieval time movies. Gorgeous and handsome. Also highly recommend Moc Chau, Hoang Su Phi, Mu Cang Chai, Daklak, and Pleiku. These places are incredibly beautiful.

[@bennyandmeeka]

Aw thank you! We loved it here. Thanks so much for the recommendations! 🙈

We love to show people that us vegans are just a strong as those who eat meat 🤭 Thanks so much for your lovely comment, it has made our day 💙

I met many Vegan and vegetarian travelers, they all have positive energy and extremely healthy ❤

Beautiful video and beautiful places. Very good. Greetings from Turin (Italy)

Thanks for sharing the beautiful waterfall scenery. I found your channel today. and I have watched all of your channel videos. Just subscribed.

[@bennyandmeeka]

Aw thanks so much for subscribing, we are so glad you enjoyed the video's :)

[@Heartsteel94]

Mong rằng các bạn sẽ có những kỷ niệm đẹp ở Hà Nội, từ Tam Đảo, Vĩnh Phúc 🎉🎉🎉

[@bennyandmeeka]

Thank you so much 😄

[@soku3889]

I swear every time I see Meeka in beautiful dresses walking into the beautiful landscape I think of Disney princesses. And Benny is like her prince charming. You guys are perfect for each other. 🥰 Traveling as a vegetarian seems quite difficult, I don't know if you eat so little, where do you get the energy to drive and carry luggage like that? 🥲 And a question I've wanted to ask for a long time: Benny's skincare routine, because his skin is so smooth, I'm jealous, really! 😂

[@bennyandmeeka]

Aw thats such a lovely thing to say, thank you! As for Bens skin care routine he is a soap and water kinda man... very basic 🤣We some times left hungry and try convince ourselves we are fasting haha

[@kajalbathija577]

Amazing videos,i am your new subscriber.Would like to know when or which month did you visit this waterfall.Would love to do it someday.

[@bennyandmeeka]

Thank you so much 🙏🏽 welcome to our channel 🤗 we visited back in late December. I hope you make it to this incredible place!

Keep going both of you, in love with your energy both, take care of each other 🌹

[@bennyandmeeka]

Thank you so much!! You too ☺️☺️

[@doodahgurlie]

Next time you guys come back to Vietnam, do the Ha Giang Loop (do the 4 day one to see it all), Ha Long Bay, Cat Ba Island (national park), Phong Nha (Paradise and Dark Cave...unless you want to do the all day or multi-day caving, which is super cool!), Ba Be Lake (saw an English couple do a homestay/tour int the area and it was great), Da Lat (canyoning, if you're into that, but tons of stuff in and around the city to do and see like the Elephant Falls, Alpine rollercoaster, the Maze Bar, Crazy House, clay village, etc.), Phu Quoc, Da Nang, Nha Trang (mud bath, ruins), etc. :) Bring peanut butter so you can eat it with your banh mi in case you're in an area with few tourists and no vegan food...but pretty sure they could have made you fried noodles with veggies in most places. Or even just stir-fried veggies...just tell them not to use fish sauce or oyster sauce...maybe they can use soy sauce instead.

[@bennyandmeeka]

We actually did the HA Giang Loop just before this trip! (we have a video on youtube) we would loveee to do some of these other places you suggested, there is so many amazing places to explore in Vietnam, we need a longer visa! Thats a great idea about the peanut butter 😋

[@doodahgurlie]

@@bennyandmeeka I was thinking surely they could have done tofu for you as well. I mean, they may need to go to the market and make you something special, but it's doable.

[@shafiqrashid7245]

Hey there! Is it legal to fly drone in cao bang! The view of the waterfall is so beautiful!

[@bennyandmeeka]

Hello 🤗 you can fly it over from China but in Vietnam you need to apply for a permit! 🙏🏽

[@doncorleone9294]

Nice footage

[@bennyandmeeka]

Thanks so much 🤗

[@dalilasmendes8432]

Whats the name of the waterfalls?

[@hungcuongnguyen293]

You should ask the monk or nun at the pagoda you were at Ban Gioc for a free vegan meal . The Buddhist priests in VN are very welcoming and generous . FYI every first and 15th day of the lunar calendar , most pagodas in VN serve free vegan meals to the visitors and donations are not mandatory .

[@bennyandmeeka]

Wow that’s such a great help. Thanks so much, we will have to try this next time ☺️☺️

[@banff2259]

I thought drones were not aloud to be used

[@caolam2330]

At 5:20 😍

[@bennyandmeeka]

Thank you 🙏🏽☺️

[@mattrudy823]

Iphone is quite enough. I am using old Vivo 15 HP at the last trip in Thailand. What type of your drone Ben?

[@mattrudy823]

Live your beautiful scenic and romantic couple of you, God bless u two!

[@bennyandmeeka]

Yes we just use our Iphine for filming! We use the DJI Mavic Drone Pro 2, we absolutely love the footage we can get with these ☺️ Thanks so much for watching

[@rimshaquadri4581]

Hey Meeka ! Where did you guys stayed in plz suggest any nearby hotels to Ban Gioc waterfalls

[@bennyandmeeka]

Hello, we stayed in a little Homestay. I just had a quick google and (Lan’s Homestay Cao Bang ) looks like a really nice place and only 13mins drive away! 😁

[@rimshaquadri4581]

@@bennyandmeeka Thank you for the response dear.. Are there buses easily available from Cao Bang to Hanoi? If so from which site to book from? I am willing to visit but unable to find transportation details online.

[@caobangecotravel]

There are many buses in between Cao Bang and Ha Noi. I can help you to arrange if you need. Btw im from Cao Bang 😊
