Frequently asked questions

If I go alone, can I join or not?

If you're traveling alone, you can still join the routes offered by To Ong Adventure. We always organize groups of up to 20 members every weekend, allowing you to connect with new friends and embark on an exciting journey of exploration!

What is the number of participants in each group?

For the Ta Giang hiking tour, each To Ong Adventure group will consist of 20 members, with a support ratio of 1:4. This means that for every group of 20 people, there will be at least 5 staff members from To Ong Adventure.

Why should I choose Ong Adventure instead of another unit?

The team at To Ong Adventure is trained in stream-crossing skills and equipped to handle specific risks for each journey. To Ong Adventure has spent months living in the area and designing a private camping site, collaborating with local communities to create a unique Ta Giang route program.

Is it possible to go trekking in Ta Giang in the rainy season?

The Ta Giang route runs alongside the Song Khe stream, which is the main water source for the local Raglai community. During the rainy season, water from the upstream flows down, causing the water level to rise significantly. Therefore, it is generally not advisable to travel the Ta Giang route during the rainy season due to the high risks involved.

How is the hygiene condition in this street?

At each campsite, To Ong Adventure always sets up temporary restrooms for the group, and after departure, the logistics team will clean up the area. We consistently separate all waste generated during the journey into organic and inorganic categories, with proper disposal measures in place throughout the trip.

Especially on the Ta Giang route, To Ong Adventure has a private campsite designed to allow you to stay in the forest for an extended period.
