Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

A communicating pair of unspecified cave entrance (unidentified shape, unidentified dimensions, unidentified orientation, unidentified characteristics) was said to give access to a true tunnel cave, which was not only referred to as Synrang U Long (anonymous Arbenz, T et al. 2013.08.07 Mss: Diary 2012.doc) but also as Krem Synrang U Long (Arbenz, T 2013.03.16 dated ”2012.04.30” cave distribution map Pala relief13 2.pdf). SITUATION: The cave entrances to Krem –>Sahiong and Synrang U Long (or, perhaps, Synrang U Iong) were found west of the village of Moo Knor (25°23'27”N: 92°36'16”E) and in settings above the banks of either the Wah Sahiong or the Wah Lympriang (anonymous Arbenz, T et al. 2013.08.07 Mss: Diary 2012.doc), which both must be tributary streams to the orographically left bank of the Kopili River (26°15'N: 92°10'E). POSITION: The cave entrance to Krem Synrang U Long 2 is indicated near (unidentified precision error) N25°23'18”: E092°38'14”: circa 775 m asl but aain with an elevation of 740 m next to Daly 2012 (Arbenz, T 2013.03.16 dated ”2012.04.30” cave distribution map Pala relief13 2.pdf). PROSPECTS: Out of the five cave entrances that were shown to them, Krem Sahiong 1 and Synrong [sic!] U Long 2 may have some potential (anonymous Arbenz, T et al. 2013.08.07 Diary 2012.doc). CAVE DESCRIPTION: A drafting 150 m long through cave with some wading and crawling in cold water. All in all, Krem Synrang U Long 1,2 &3 … follow a pair of ravines with a number of entrances or day-light shafts along the cave routes (anonymous Arbenz, T 2013.08.07 Mss: Meghalaya Expedition 2013 Diary: 15th February, Friday).
