Ways to explore

Policies & rules

Fulfill Ticket Conditions: Tickets are time‑bound and non‑reenterable. Adhere to set safety protocols and check-in procedures. Mandatory security screenings and group guidelines provide a consistent, regulated experience throughout your tour.

Tips & guidelines

  • Wear layered clothing and sturdy, closed shoes. The cave remains cool and damp, so a warm jacket and non-slip footwear are essential for comfort and safety underground.
  • Pack light and avoid bulky backpacks. Keeping only essential items in a small, secure bag helps you navigate narrow, uneven paths with ease.
  • Bring extra batteries for your camera or smartphone. Although the tour supplies basic lighting, having backups ensures you capture moments in darker sections.
  • Stay quiet and follow your guide’s instructions closely. Keeping noise to a minimum helps maintain the serene atmosphere and ensures safety in confined, slippery passages.
  • Check local weather conditions before you go. Mountain winds can make the outdoor wait chilly, so carrying an extra layer for outdoor transfers is wise.
