About this experience
About
The cave is a 50 meter round sinkhole in the middle of a small jungle. A large natural rock sculpture in the shape of an elephant is used by locals as an altar to make offerings to the spirits who live in the cave and request for their support. The cave is accessible by a few stairs and wooden decking so people with general fitness level can enjoy this hidden wonder tucked away in the tropical jungle. It gives a unique chance to swim in the cave.
