Description

Martin Ellis - 18/09/2019

The entrance is closed with a sliding steel anti-bat gate, but not locked. The cave is a very active meditation site and a very impressive example of a religious cave with a very large number of statues. All floor areas were tiled. Everything was very clean due to good housekeeping and the effective anti-bat grills. The cave is estimated to be 80m long, 15m wide 10m high.
