The cave's natural limestone formations and river passages are particularly vulnerable to flooding, which could pose risks to both tourists and local guides. Additionally, the surrounding forest trails and access roads may become slippery and difficult to navigate. These conditions could disrupt travel plans and limit access to the site during the peak monsoon months.
