EXPLORATION HISTORY: 2013.02.08: When Tian Pakma from the village of Moo Knor decided to show a selection of known cave entrances to outsiders (Brian D. Kharpran Daly, Ralph Doyle), an evidently self-centered foreigner put the cart before the horse and caused additional disgust by stating that it was not Tian Pakma but Ralph and Brian [who] decided to find caves in the vicinity. At a closer look, however, the two were led by Tian Pakma from Mooknor village, they were shown the following caves: Sla Chiat, Krem Phylloh Masi, Krem Myntlang and Krem Rapblong (anonymous Arbenz, T 2013.08.07 Mss: Meghalaya Expedition 2013 Diary 8th February).
