It's located in Krabi town about 10 minutes outside the heart of the city.
There was so much to do at this beautiful temple it was hard to decided what to accomplish first. You could see monkey's. see beautiful temples on the grounds surrounding the cave, you could go in the actual cave, see where the monks live & of course take the hike to the top of the mountain and see the breathtaking views of all of Krabi.
Cameron and I decided to do the hike first to get it out of the way. The hike is just stairs and there were a total of 2063 steps to the top. Now, it might seem like that's not too many & sure, it didn't take us too long but the steps are steep!!
The hike was a great workout and once at the top the views were amazing!!!

After reaching the top we headed back down and decided to see the sights around the grounds. We watched people feed the monkeys and even got to see a few cute baby monkeys!
We saw numerous temples and many Buddhas around the grounds. We also stumbled upon a place called Wonderland, We followed the signs and wound up inside a cave! Inside this cave was where the monks lived. They had their own private sanctuary in the heart of the jungle.
We wondered around and climbed in and out of the paths through the cave.
We even found a stray cat!! She was so cute and of course loved us so much she followed us around for a while.
After playing in the caves and seeing where the monks lived, we followed the path further into the jungle where we saw some more monkeys and some amazing parts of nature. The path lead us right back to where we started and we continued exploring the grounds.
After a long day at the Temple we headed back to our hotel and we couldn't stop talking about how much fun we had!
If ever in Krabi the Tiger Cave Temple us a must see!!! It was gorgeous and it was free!! An entire day of exploring and all we had to pay was the taxi there and back!
As a warning, stretch before you climb!! & bring lots of water!! The stairs really make you feel the burn the next morning.
Here are a few more pictures from our day!
