We booked this excursion on a whim and honestly didn’t expect such an effect. The places are very unusual, with noticeably fewer tourists, which creates a completely different atmosphere. The caves and the underground river made a strong impression - at times we just stood there, completely absorbed by what we were seeing. We liked that the program combines nature, animals, and temples, so the day flew by unnoticed. By evening we were tired, but with the feeling that we had lived through a small adventure.
