Tham Pu Lup

Tham Pu Lup. Legend has it that a hermit named “Lup” performed a strict meditation hibernation here. When he died, the villagers set up a shrine at the cave entrance and named this cave “Tham Pu Lup” after his name. From the shrine, it is a short walk to the cave entrance, which is not too high from the ground. The limestone cave boasts glittering stalagmites and stalactites. There are 5 rooms, some of which have water springs that turn into a large pond inside the cave. To get there: From Amphoe Mueang Khon Kaen, take Highway No. 12 and pass Amphoe Chum Phae. Then, turn right onto Highway No. 201 (route to Loei province). At between Km. 115-116, the cave is about 6 kilometres before Pha Nok Khao.
