EXPLORATION HISTORY: 2002.03.07: An unidentified person (no name mentioned) had told Brian D. Kharpran Daly about a cave called Krem Jan near Pala (Kharpran Daly, B D 2002.03.07 Mss: Wahlong / Pala, item 'Pala #7 Krem Jan). 2015.02.06: Daphyrnai Sariang from Umkyrpong, then acting as a guide, walked Brian D. Kharpran Daly and Ruben Cashler from what had been in February 2015 a camp in which expedition cavers were kept outside the populated place of Umkyrpong (25°26'04”N: 92°34'48”E), initially past the cave entrance of Krem –>Blang, Kseh (25°25'26.8”N: 92°35'00.2”E) and via Krem –>Sning, Pala, and Krem –>Lawan, Pala. After that the team proceeded to Pala [25°24'43”N: 92°34'09”E] and west [or, more likely, north] of the village they went down the main dirt road, eventually heading into [an unspecified] the valley following a footpath [in an unrecognised direction]. They located Krem Jan …. On the other side of the area, Krem Mren was found from where they proceeded to retrn to the camp (Anonymous [Arbenz T, Brooks S J et al.] 2015.04.03 Mss: Diary 2015.docx 6th February 2015 Friday).
