- feast your eyes on the most magnificent world that nature
has created. This may well be one of the most beautiful caves
in the world.
This cave was discovered by the resident monk in 1989. Secretely
enjoying its magnificence, this monk worked 7 years to discover
it in full and create simple walks and lights before he made it
available for viewing. Staff of PUT - ECO Adventure Tours were
some of the first people to ever enter this magnicent cave in
1997.
7. On the return journey,
we'll visit a beautiful pagoda on the top of a hill in the countryside.
8. Cold towels and refreshments
are always available in the mini-bus. There will be one rest/coffee
break.
Note: Please bring comfortable non-slip
footwear. From experience we suggest 400 film for your camera.
Flash will not be necessary inside the lighted caves, the high
speed film will produce beautiful clear colour photos.
It has taken Mother Nature millions of years to create the beautiful
caves you will walk in to experience. Some of the natural sculpture
is so fragile that your fingertips could destroy it. Some is so
tiny that you would miss it completely without the assistance
of our guides. Most is so majestic it will take your breath away.
On
this tour the resident local guides will insist that nothing in
the caves is touched in order to preserve this fantastic natural
treasure for future generations.
