The cave was discovered by scientist of the British Caving Research Association in 2005, has the length of 31 km and is the longest dry cave in Asia. With naturally primitive features Paradise Cave looks like a landscape painting, making it very attractive to visitors. According to cavers, the deeper one journeys into the cave, the more one feels the wells of heavenly clarity all around. There are a series of white crystal stalactites resembling glass pillars and many other spectacular formations.

After crossing an old forest, visitors see the entrance to the cave shaded by century-old trees and then are dazzled by the mysterious beauty of stalactite pillars, each accounts for dozen of meters in diameter and grandiose rock arches, naturally formed over millions of years, giving the impression of an enchanted kingdom.
