VI.Experience for first-timers

 When traveling to discover Ruc Mon, to have the best experience, you should know some of the following:

 You are not allowed to arbitrarily visit Ruc Mon Cave; currently, the cave has been given exclusive rights by the Greenland Company. so you can join the Ruc Mon trekking tour. This exclusivity is a way to help limit overexploitation of the area and preserve the site and its inherent natural beauty. 

You should follow the guide closely to not get lost: getting to the cave is quite difficult and arduous. You have to go through a forest and climb uphill to get to the Ruc Mon Gate. Therefore, when exploring Ruc Mon, you need a guide for the most convenient trip. 

There is no exact route to the cave: Ruc Mon Cave is not available on Google Maps, and there are no directions or signs. You can only trust and follow instructors who have a lot of experience and knowledge. That's why you shouldn't explore this cave alone.
