This cave is a truly natural wonder. A stream flows through the cave. The cave itself looks like a high and steep cliff with layers of rocks. A
canal from the Banthat Mountain Range divides into 3 waterways before reaching Khao Kohp, 2 small canals are going around the mountain and the other flowing directly through the cave under the mountain. Stalactites and stalagmites in different shapes which lie along a 4-kilometre walkway are waiting for visitors to explore the cave.Currently the Tambon Khao Kohp Administration provides rowers and rowboats for visitors to conveniently visit the cave and to generate participation from the locals. This arrangement also boosts adventure and eco-tourism activities. The fee is 200 baht for a row boat of 7 persons.
