Tham Phu Kham Cave

It may be unjust to other parts of Laos that Vang Vieng has been blessed with so many natural beauty locations. The road leading to Tham Phu Kham Cave is fairly steep and rocky. It now demands you to hike for around 200 meters; consequently, you should have a pair of hiking sandals that will keep you comfortable throughout the journey. A reclining Buddha statue greets you as you pass through the door (as usual, we see the Buddha statue everywhere in Laos where Buddhism is widely spread). The statue gleams in the sunlight streaming in through the top hole.

Buddhists in the area gather here on a daily basis to show reverence to their Buddha by burning incense sticks. Because your hands will be braced against the rock to move your body as you walk deeper into the cave, you should have a head torch and appropriate shoes. Deep inside the cave, you'll see how small you are in comparison to the stunning natural environment.
