Physical Aspects of Sung Sot
Sung Sot Cave的点评
点评：There are many reviews of the wonders of the Sung Sot Caves and I concur with all of them. I am a senior in my 70's and I was concerned about the physical requirements but I could not find a good explanation so that is what this review is about. I am not super fit. I walk slowly and can do about 2 or 3 miles but my big issue is in my legs and climbing and inclines are hard. The "power" seems to run out. I was aware there were a lot of steps and did not know if I could make it. There are 700 steps in all and I will explain. These figures are accurate from the guides.
BEWARE: ONCE YOU START YOU ARE COMMITTED. IT IS ONE WAY AND THERE IS NO WAY BACK. SO YOU HAVE TO FINISH.
We arrived on 25 March 2025. The day was cloudy with no rain and in the 70's and reasonably cool. Our boat arrived at the dock and the first thing we noticed was the long line to go up the stairs. It took about 20 minutes to get to the staircase but apparently on really busy days (there are literally dozens of boats) it could take an hour or more I'm told. So the first thing is the need to be able to stand for long periods .. and then climb.
The first staircase to the entrance is 175 steps. There are handrails and 2 people can climb at the same time. The line went slowly so there was time to breath on the way up. The steps started out quite shallow but then got high. I estimate 9-10" high for the most part which adds to the difficulty. What you notice from the outside is that the exit is much higher than the entrance.
Once we entered the cave there is about a 1km walk from beginning to end on a groomed path with no stones but there were ups and downs along the way with inclines and steps but nothing too hard. There about 4 or 5 spectacular caves along the way that get progressively larger.
TIP: The cave is about 10 degrees cooler than the outside but is unbelievably humid. I sweat a lot. Take water and a head band or a towel if you think you need it. I was dripping wet.
At the end is where I got a surprise. There are another 275 steps up to reach the exit! These were mainly high as well and no real handrail. Just some ropes and a wooden stanchion every few feet. I climbed slowly but it is largely single file and I held people up but most seemed not to mind and were understanding. When you exit the view is amazing. Drinks can be purchased there and then there are 250 steps down to the dock.
I managed it and was pretty wiped at the end. It was tough but worth it.
I have attached pictures of the line; the stairs going up; the exit; the trail inside and a couple of the caves.
YMMV.

翻译：有很多关于 Sung Sot 洞穴奇观的评论，我同意所有这些评论。我是一个 70 多岁的老人，我担心身体上的要求，但我找不到一个很好的解释，所以这篇评论就是关于这个的。我身体不是特别好。我走得很慢，可以走大约 2 或 3 英里，但我的大问题是我的腿，爬山和上坡都很困难。“体力”似乎耗尽了。我知道有很多台阶，但不知道我是否能做到。总共有 700 个台阶，我会解释的。这些数字是指南中准确的。
注意：一旦你开始，你就必须承诺。这是一条路，没有回头路。所以你必须完成。
我们于 2025 年 3 月 25 日到达。那天多云，没有下雨，气温在 70 度左右，相当凉爽。我们的船抵达码头，我们注意到的第一件事就是上楼梯的队伍很长。我们花了大约 20 分钟才到达楼梯，但据说在非常繁忙的日子（实际上有几十艘船）可能需要一个小时或更长时间。所以第一件事是需要能够长时间站立......然后爬上去。
通往入口的第一段楼梯有 175 个台阶。有扶手，两个人可以同时爬上去。队伍走得很慢，所以上去的时候有时间喘口气。台阶一开始很浅，但后来变高了。我估计大部分洞穴高度为 9-10 英寸，这增加了难度。从外面可以注意到出口比入口高得多。
我们进入洞穴后，从头到尾大约有 1 公里的步行路程，沿着一条没有石头的修整过的小路，但沿途有起伏，有斜坡和台阶，但都不是太难。沿途大约有 4 或 5 个壮观的洞穴，越来越大。
提示：洞穴比外面低 10 度左右，但潮湿得令人难以置信。我出汗很多。如果您认为需要，请带上水和头带或毛巾。我浑身湿透了。
最后我得到了一个惊喜。还有另外 275 个台阶才能到达出口！这些台阶也很高，没有真正的扶手。每隔几英尺只有一些绳索和一根木柱。我慢慢地爬，但基本上是单行，我拦住了人们，但大多数人似乎并不介意，而且很理解。当你离开时，景色令人惊叹。那里可以买到饮料，然后有 250 个台阶可以到达码头。
我成功了，最后筋疲力尽。这很艰难，但值得。
我附上了队伍的照片；上行的楼梯；出口；里面的小径和几个洞穴。
YMMV。
