Conservation Note
Tour operators encourage sticking to marked paths and forbidding litter; water and cave systems are sensitive—avoid touching formations and dispose of waste properly.
This region’s caves and karst formed over millions of years as groundwater dissolved limestone; local villages grew along waterways used for rice and tea cultivation.
