The mystery of Kao Rao Cave in Laos


One of the many bat species that inhabit the cave. — Vientiane Times/ANN

Caves are among the many interesting tourist attractions in Laos with thousands of underground chambers scattered across the country, and some even have legendary tales to add to their fascination.

My preference is to visit caves when they are relatively empty of tourists so I can enjoy the tranquillity, but their growing popularity means I don’t experience them as much as I would like.
