Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

A local guidebook called -Palpa: as you like it- describes badly a cave near Ridi called Siddheshwar Gufa (83°24'E: 27°57'N, approx). The author claims to have spent over an hour underground exploring this cave. There's lots of legends attached to it (Martin Butterworth 1998.05.06 Mss). SITUATION: I tried to find it but failed due to a misleading local map and the bad description. I think I know where it is now and will try again some time. It's west from Ridi along Ridi Khola [note 1], further than I went (Martin Butterworth 1998.05.06 Mss). IDENTITY: Compare the –>Ridi Odar. DUCLUZAUX (1993: 26) mentions a Riri Gupha (the same?) from an unspecified location somewhere near Riri (sic! qua: Ridi).A local guidebook called -Palpa: as you like it- describes badly a cave near Ridi called Siddheshwar Gufa (83°24'E: 27°57'N, approx).
