The highest level of the cave is roofless. This is the biggest hole in the cave that allow everyone to see the sky and allow the rain to flush into the cave. This is also the deepest part of the cave that is accessible by visitors.

Although this space is quite wide and can accommodate quite a lot of visitors, it is surrounded by the 3 sides of rock wall with some green natural plants on it. There is no way to exit except the staircase. I wonder if there are any ways to climb up the rocks and there may be a way to go down the hill using other routes.

The main attraction for the believers is the structure that was built here. There is a small room at the rear side of this structure.

There are two statues standing beside the door, and quite a number of small lights offered by the believers. We saw their leader read some mantra and do some religious activities there.

On top of this room, there are a lot of small deities statues on the roof.


On the other side of this area, there are also statues next to the rock wall.

Before going down the “internal” staircase, I saw a foreigner setting up his tripod to take the photo of the cave from “upper floor”. He left after a short while, and it was my turn now.
It was not easy to take the photo there without using a tripod. It was too dark in the cave. Again, I put my camera on the railing (use it as a tripod) and use the shutter speed of 1/4 seconds. Luckily the photo is still clear. Thanks to the image stabilizer feature in my camera. For your information, I have used ISO 200.

Somewhere there, we saw the coconut shells. The believers might have used the coconut water as the offering to their deities.
We walked down the staircase and took more photos of the limestone. Stay tuned! ![]()
