Isn't this part of the plot of Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptonomicon
That was in the Philippines. Totally different.
The entrance, the great wall, the waterfall and the cactus garden were some very similar to what I see in photos. Unfortunately I couldn't take any good pics with the point and shoot and the flash light I had at the time. Above the cave was a forest with huge trees. There was a stream going through the cave and in rainy season it makes it impossible to go inside the cave, just like in 'Hang Son Doong'.
Sorry for the useless rant. I was too excited :)
Some not so detailed pics of Wawulpana I found in the Internet. http://pics.kathe13.de/thumbnails.php?album=40
And some more information http://www.srilankanwaterfalls.net/waterfalls/wawulpana.htm
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I just hope no one in Hollywood sees these and decides that'd be a cool location for a movie
Does anyone even bother to shoot on location anymore?
It's almost painful to see them drilling holes into the rock face. I understand the need but a part of me wants to get all greenpeace and kick the human invaders out.
I understand your sentiment, but caves are a geologic phenomenon, and on that scale this is not even a geologic blink. So breathe easy, and save the torches & pitchforks for when they want to turn it into an amusement park :)

Amazing natural wonder. Although I will say that a small part of me wants to see it transformed into a real-life version of Ironforge.
One would hope that labor laws would prevent you from building something of the sort via manual labor, but what about robots of some sort?
