Once inside the amazing limestone stalactites and structures
that have formed over millions of years could be seen.
The bats that live on the roof of the cave were flying about and out of the cave entrance. It took over 40 minutes inside many chambers along cave which stretches for many kilometres but visitors are only permitted to go about one kilometre inside. Many of the limestone chambers and formations were given names like cathedral, beautiful lady, candle etc.
