While the cave is known for its stalactites and stalagmites, there’s much more to it than that. If you’re considering a quick getaway, this is the perfect place to visit. You can spend the day exploring the cave. Swim on a spring-fed swimming pool that is rich in minerals originated from the watersheds of Pangin-raon. Or stay overnight at the resort.
