Top Tips
| The main cave is obvious as there’s a large stairway leading to the entrance. To get to the second (much narrower and darker) cave, follow the path that hugs the cliff to the right of that stairway for about 100m. |
| If you forgot to bring a flashlight, with some persuasion the local guides will rent you theirs for LAK5,000. |
| To best explore the area properly, you might want to wear shoes of some sort (and consider hiring a guide). There are plenty of spiders around, and most likely some snakes too. |
