Description

Martin Ellis - 10/08/2019

At the entrance are a Buddha and other statues. Turning right, an earth-floored passage up to 5 m wide runs parallel with the cliff. After 60 m the passage ends under a skylight. Below the skylight is an unusual model of a two-storey house about 1.5 m high, and a statue. To the left of the entrance a passage passes a bat-filled aven. 30 m from the entrance the walking passage becomes a crawl and there is a second entrance.
