Discover the hidden wonders beneath the surface with the Horizontal Caving Adventure at Crazy Horse Buttress!
This one-of-a-kind experience takes you through some of Northern Thailand’s most captivating caves, combining both the allure of show caves and the thrill of adventure caves. You’ll witness stunning natural formations, learn foundational horizontal caving techniques, and push the boundaries of your comfort zone as you crawl, duck, and squeeze through fascinating underground passages.
The adventure begins with exploring the more rugged and hidden adventure caves tucked deep into Crazy Horse Buttress. Navigate through the exhilarating twists and turns of caves such as Buddha Cave, Junkyard Cave, and Tamarind Cave, each offering its own unique geological features and challenges. After a locally-prepared lunch, you will enter the awe-inspiring Muang On Cave, a spacious show cave filled with striking stalactites, stalagmites, and a historic reclining Buddha that makes for a serene and intriguing ending point.
Whether you’re crawling through narrow tunnels, marveling at stunning rock formations, or learning about the delicate cave ecosystems, you’ll leave with a deep appreciation for the underground world and the foundational skills to explore it safely.
