Chom Ong Cave

Gives the visitor a dazzling feeling of entering Tolkien's Mines of Moria. The biggest cave in Northern Laos is a system discovered in 2006 of more than 16 km of natural tunnels, adorned with pretty sparkling sinter formations, huge stalagmites, and stalactites. Passages have ceiling heights up to 50 m and there is a stream course flowing in the cave. There is now a fork from the dirt road to Ban Chom Ong which is signposted to the cave. If you come here on your own you nevertheless need to make prior arrangements to meet a guide at the cave.
