Dawn rises over karst ridges as the minivan threads past rubber plantations and palms—by mid-morning the road gives way to a hummocked rainforest alive with insect chatter and the clean, mineral scent of hot springs. The tour drops you at the base of the Tiger Cave Temple; from there a steep stairway and jungle steps push upward, opening onto a panorama of rice paddies and limestone spires that seem to pierce the sky.
