Nam Ta Lu Cave

Nov to apr dry season can explore the cave both some adventure activities. The path is easy, and kids can make it. For wet path pls use good stripe sandals. Some path water level requires some short 🏊‍♂ and some paths very narrow. Bring waterproof 🎒 and wear quick dry clothes. There's not much mosquito for the season I went

Very fun! Went as part of the lake overnight stay. You hike through the jungle before walking through the cave and hiking back. You'll wade, swim, see bats/spiders/crickets. Lots of fun! Wear water shoes and only bring things that you're ok getting wet

Swimming (1.5 m deep water), giant spiders, pythons, hundreds of bats, frogs - be prepared you can meet those. What an amazing adventure it was!

Nature walk with a cave portion. Accessible by boat, most tour companies and on-lake accommodations being tourists here (we attended with Smiley Bungalows).

It’s about a 2 km hike out, then about 1 in through the cave, then about 1 km back. Add a bit during fry season because boats can’t get as far up river.

The land hike is pretty flat, but there are some stream crossings and hopping over logs. Your feet will get wet and muddy, even during the dry season.

The cave is amazing. About 1000 m from one end to the other. Can only be safely done during the dry season.

Bats, snakes, fish, spiders, crickets. Some amazing karst geological features. A lot of wading and a few short swims (depending on season). Most of the cave is pretty open but there are a few short narrow (touch both walls at same time) sections.

Would recommend bringing a fry bag and some water shoes. No flip flops, as the terrain is a bit rough.

Very much recommended, but be safe and don’t think about it during the rains. A few people died a while back because they went after a rain and got washed down.

Nice cave to explore. Accessible by boat and a couple km trail. Cave is wet inside so bring good sandals or shoes and prepare to swim thru a couple sections.

This is the most adventures part of visiting Khao sok. When you go through 800 metered inside the cave the water is up to 1.6 metres. There are bats, spiders and sometimes snakes in the cave. It took us about an hour to go through slowly.
It gets busy by afternoon so try to ask your guide to get there earlier when no one around. Also if you are joining the group make sure to join one without kids. I'm sure no guide will go to that cave with small kids, it is obviously too dangerous because of the water level.

Just to inform you if you go during monsoon season, sudden rain can flood the cave. A wave of water can suddenly surge into the cave and either smash you into the rocks or drown you. One year 8 members of a tour group including the guide died. There was only one survivor. Google it if you don't believe me. Mr. Ballen on YouTube did a video on it. I don't know if they've made any changes to prevent this from happening (or simply don't go during monsoon seasin). But hey, if it's not monsoon season, it's a great place to visit.

One in lifetime experience!
Walking, climbing and swimming (!) in total black... Where else do you get this?
If you visit Khao Sok Nationalpark, stay in one of the floating home which is close to this cave and do this trip (not during rain!!!)...
Khao Sok... One of my top 5 spots on this earth ❤

One the best experiences in Thailand so far. Definitely worth it.

We went during rainy so it was difficult and fun. Only accessible via long adventure jungle trail of 45 minutes

It was a great experience!!!

Amazing experience in an underground water park.

On ne s'attendait à rien mais on s'est bien amusé ! Petite randonnée jusqu'à la grotte puis descente de la grotte en une sorte de canyoning familial ! Des petits passages où l'on est obligé de s'immerger complètement, c'est fun! Ne pas oublier de prendre des habits et des affaires qui peuvent prendre l'eau !

Una excursión muy agradable. Llegamos en long tail boat. Caminamos primero por la selva y luego llegamos a la cueva. Una cueva diferente a las demás puesto que también hay zonas de agua donde el agua te cubre hasta los hombros. Hay que llevar linterna y unas buenas bambas. No recomendaría llevar zapatillas de trekking ya que en la parte de la selva hay zonas de agua y también en la cueva.

Die Wasserhöhle macht sehr viel Spaß, sofern man nicht mit einer der Massentourismus-Touren hier her kommt. Am besten bucht man sich einen privaten Gudie mit Boot und kommt schon früh morgens oder am Nachmittag hier her.
Unbedingt Badesachen anziehen und alles andere absolut Wasserdicht verpacken, denn einige Passagen muss man schwimmen oder durch Wasserfälle hindurch.
Aber ACHTUNG: Die Höhle niemals bei Regen oder zur Monsunzeit betreten. Hier gab es in Vergangenheit schon mehrere Todesfälle!!!

Посещение пещеры - это целое приключение. Сначала вы идёте по джунглям, и это не похоже на просто прогулку по лесу. Затем попадаете в пещеру, где нужно карабкаться, цепляться руками за камни, где-то даже плыть против бурного потока. Вы увидите внутри летучих мышей, пауков, может быть, змей. Посещение только с гидом и очень опасно в сезон дождей, особенно с июня по август.

Świetna wyprawa z wycieczką ze Smiley. Trekking dżunglą świetny, przejście jaskini jeszcze lepsze polecam 👍 Super przygoda 🙂

Прекрасная дикая пещера, где можно встретить всё, что пугает тебя по телевизору.

Мы успели увидеть сотни летучих мышей, 2-х змей (одна из которых ползла по стене в полуметре от нас), лягушек и огромных пауков.

После такого приключения обратная дорога по джунглям кажется детской прогулкой.

Однозначно рекомендую к посещение всем, кто готов ко встрече с мышами, змеями, пауками и прочими обитателями пещер)

Mega Ausflug. Die Wanderung zur Hölle war schön aber die Hölle war ein Abenteuer.

Increíble cueva, recomiendo mucho su visita!
