Location
Ha Ko is the local Red Lahu name for the cave. The entrance is at the end of a 2 km long depression which in 1982 contained a field of opium poppies.
Description
The cave is part of the Ya Pa Nae stream system. A short scramble at the foot of an overhanging cliff opens into a 4m wide and 3m high passage between mud banks and muddy decoration suggesting extensive flooding. This gradually narrows to a bedrock crawl and eventually the passage becomes impassable. The cave was blocked when visited by the APS in 1985.
