What you need to know
The cave is located 1 km from the center of Ta Phin village. The entrance is 5 meters high and 3 meters wide. Inside, the cave extends up to 300 meters deep and abounds with stalactites and stalagmites of bizarre shapes.
The cave infrastructure is equipped with electric lighting, but due to partial lighting coverage, bringing a headlamp is recommended. The route includes sections with narrow passages and rocky climbs. The visit can be combined with a tour of the village, where locals offer guide services and introduce you to the traditions of the region's ethnic groups.
The dry season is the most comfortable time to visit the region and hike to the cave.
