The true source of the Kabul rud / river at Saray Cheshmesh (note 1) was said to rise from limestone not more than a mile or a mile and a half in breadth, but it suffices to give birth to the beautiful and abundant spring from which the place derives its name (Sir-i-cheshmesh -- literally: fountain's head) (LORD, B P 1838: 531).CAVE POTENTIAL: A diving spot? CAVE CLIMATE: Water temperature 12.5°C (LORD, B P 1838: 531).The true source of the Kabul rud / river at Saray Cheshmesh (note 1) was said to rise from limestone not more than a mile or a mile and a half in breadth, but it suffices to give birth to the beautiful and abundant spring from which the place derives its name (Sir-i-cheshmesh -- literally: fountain's head) (LORD, B P 1838: 531).CAVE POTENTIAL: A diving spot?
