Description

Martin Ellis - 10/08/2019

This is a sacred spring issuing from the base of a cliff with no known access to the cave itself. The fish in the pool are said to be descendants of grilled fish that were offered to the Buddha Gotama when he visited the area and were miraculosly brought back to lift. It is also known as the Monkey Cave due to the troupes of monkeys which inhabit the temple grounds.
