BAK PUK, South Lungrang 2

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

Apparently a cave which takes a creek to a sump. There are, however, two divergent descriptions. CAVE DESCRIPTION 1: Tlau Laltanpuia (leader of the Lunglei Adventurers Association, 2001.04.23 personal communication) reported a small cave entrance to a short stream cave. CAVE DESCRIPTION 2: According to a villager (met on 2001.04.24 in a roadside tea house at the new South Lungrang), this cave is both larger and longer than the first and more famous –>Bak Puk (South Lungrang): It becomes bigger inside and requires neither negotiation on hands and knees (grade 3 squeeze) nor crawling (grade 4 squeeze). SITUATION: About a kilometre to the north-west of South Lungrang village and close to a prominent and exceptionally large tree, which rises somewhere near the approximate centre of the cuesta from among smaller, surrounding vegetation.
