As you arrive at the park entrance, the guide will take you through the entrance of the National Park, heading to the caves situated 8 km from the main gate. Travel through the park by local bus, immersing yourself in the tranquil environment and encountering wildlife such as deer and monkeys.
As arriving at the cave entrance, your guide will lead you through the ancient rock-cut caves adorned with Buddhist sculptures, inscriptions, and paintings dating back from 100 BC (BCE) to 1000 AD (CE). Learn about the fascinating history of the caves used for meditation, shelter, meeting, learning, and more.
Capture memories of your exploration through beautiful photos, and return to the main gate of the national park using the same route you took to get there.

For guests who select the extended tour option, the adventure continues with an additional visit to the magnificent Global Vipassana Pagoda, often referred to as the Golden Pagoda.
