Description

Martin Ellis - 26/09/2019

From the lower entrance in the 6th karst window a large fossil passage heads north. After 150m there is a pitch, estimated to be 50m deep, that probably connects with the underlying Tham Nok Nang En 3. The final 40m of passage to the upper entrance in the 5th karst window involves a dangerous traverse along the eastern wall. In 1999 a fixed rope of unknown vintage had been installed here.
