Description
A communicating pair of nearly circular cave entrances, up to 2 m high, give access to a currently (March 1993) relatively dry tunnel cave (about 3 m long), which appears to represent the relic of a cave passage, which had formed in polymict, calcite-cemented conglomerate and is characterised by bumby rock surfaces entirely covered with a coating of secondary calcite deposits (tufa, travertine).SITUATION: Immediately above –>Guru Gsang Phug (stream cave). CAVE DESCRIPTION (WALTHAM 1971f: 59): »Just above the active cave and again parallel to the cliff face, is a short cave passage, now open at both ends, of similar cross section to the active passages and again cut [sic! qua: covered] entirely in tufa.«
