Create an itinerary including Deer Cave

Deer Cave attracts thousands of visitors every year with its unique rock formations, including the one at its south entrance that resembles the profile of Abraham Lincoln. The cave was opened for public in 1984, and it was long regarded the world's largest cave passage. It is home to three million bats you can watch twirling and swarming outside the cave from the park's bat observatory. The walk to the cave through a tropical rainforest via a 3 km (1.9 mi) plank is an attraction in its own right.

Breathtaking and stunning natural beauty. Make sure you visit during the bat exodus; seeing the bats make a circle in the air before flying off is truly mesmerising.

Outside Deer Cave 5🌟 Wait till 6.20pm to spot the numerous groups of bat flying out to search for food. It becomes the feast for hawk if u can spot it in the video.
