Very beautiful, clean and peaceful temple inside cave. Easy to reach and the cave is well preserved, no foul smell unlike some other caves. It opens into a beautiful landscape harder which hosts a small pond. Need to visit before 4pm. Best part, it's cool inside, no matter how hot the outside weather is.. Magical!

Place is literally a cave. The formation is interesting and even majestic. They would put lamps to highlight certain parts of it. Some stalactites also continue to grow (you can see water dripping from their tips). There is no entrance fee to go there so it's a good thing if you just want to view the place. On the other side of the cave, there's a river where you can rent a boat with family and friends. There's also a rent-a-bike and fish feeding activities. Overall the place is worth visiting if you like to see nature. The rock formation of the cliffs around the area is also beautiful. But besides that, there is nothing much else to see or do. Except if you are there to worship, of course. They have sculptures of Buddha and other religious figures.
