Are these tourist-type caves (with lights and guides,) or are you going exploring? I love caving, but it gets hard on the knees sometimes when there are really low crawl-throughs. It's exciting when you discover a new route into an area you've never seen before. There are some old caves about 70km north of me inside a very holy mountain. The monks used these for long meditations back in the day. They go for about 4-5km, winding through different areas, and it's really neat to crawl out of a tunnel and find an old alter showing up in your headlamp that some monk used 100 years ago. Just recently the local temple put in electricity so more people could have access to the caves (and charge money to go in, of course,) which takes away some of the sense of 'adventure,' but they are still lots of fun for many people.
