About Reed Flute Cave

Reed Flute Cave is a cool fluorescent, enchanting limestone cave lit up in the colors of the rainbow. The lighting system has been specially installed to enchant visitors. The cave which was previously an underground lake is a geographical wonder with unusual rock formations, some resembling fruits and vegetables while others have taken on a more human-like form. The most beautiful displays are 'Rose Dawn over Lion Peaks' and 'Crystal Palace' which also used by people to hide during air raids during the Second World War. 

Must See

  • The giant white slab of rock that hangs from the crystal palace all the way to the dragon king chamber.

  • Inscriptions on the cave wall
