EXPLORATION HISTORY: 2015.09.19: Brian Dermot Kharpran Daly had been informed of two caves in the village of Laitsohum, which is about 5 km from Mawsynram on the way to Lawbah - Krem Maduri and Krem Puri. I was told that Krem Puri is the bigger one with many side passages. I would probably visit the caves in November when the rains have stopped. This year we have been having bountiful rain which has eased my work of watering the plants (Kharpran Daly, B D 2015.09.19 Mss).
