Tinipak Cave This is just a few steps away West of the Tinipak river. A wooden bridge is your access from the Eastern side of the river, near the camp site. This is a beautiful cave. It's a huge tunnel and there's this pool they call 'jacuzzi' around 100 meters from the cave's entrance. I too took a dip in that cool water. You will need headlamps as there is no source of light inside the cave. You may rent one from your tour guide. They always carry some for this purpose. There are stalactites hanging from the ceiling of the cave too. There's a stream that drains into this pool and the water spills into an exit point below the layer where visitors walk on. If you are observant enough, you will notice some bats dangling from the cavities in the ceiling. ![]() Tinipak river ![]() wooden bridge leading to cave, which is just at the other side of this river ![]() wooden bridge leading to cave, which is just at the other side of this river ![]() cave entrance ![]() entering the cave You will assume that this cave is probably small. Once you get in, you'll be amazed how wide it is inside. The tunnel is around 5 meters in diamater. The stretch from the entrance to the pool (jacuzzi) is around 50 meters. The tunnel doesn't there. We did not go beyond the jacuzzi area. We do not know how long is the remaining stretch. I forgot to ask the guide about it. ![]() Send me a message or write a comment here if you know the answer to that. ![]() ![]() underground stream ![]() stalactite ![]() bats ![]() jacuzzi ![]() exiting the cave Mt.
