Cave description:
The cave is an old Buddhist temple, with a sculptured doorframe and stairs at the entrance, and an altar inside. Past the first chamber (the temple), a short horizontal gallery leads to some small vertical shafts that lead to other winding galleries, still unexplored due to the lack of sufficient rope. Overall, the cave is sub-horizontal, with a good out-flowing air draft. The hill where the cave is located is along the new highway.
