EXPLORATION HISTORY: 2010.02.17, trip 1: Out of the immigrant cavers concentrated in February 2010 at a main camp (N25°26'12”: E092°34'43” WGS84, Arbenz, T 2010.03.31 cave distribution map: Pala_Ridge_4-10.pdf) on the outskirts of the village of Umkyrpong, it were Roman Hapka, the Indian marine Vikrant Shukla and numerous bottles of beer, who were transported (no driver mentioned) to reconnoitre for two days the karst and cave potential in the vicinity of the village of Moo Knor (renamed from Maw Khamar), the corrupted Um Kanar (Hapka 2010.02.18 Mss: Krem Kandacho), on the road to Saipung (N25°20'17.4”: E092°37'11.7”: 1061 m asl, WGS84, T Arbenz, T 2010.04.28 personal correspondence). On this occasion, two unacknowledged young farmers (no names mentioned) from the village of Um Kanar (sic! qua: either Khahnar or Moo Knor) helped the model immigrant Roman Hapka and the Indian marine Vikrant Shukla (Anonymous et al. 2010.03.29 Mss: Diary (current) 2010.doc: 18th February) to reah places where they were led to believe seeing three interesting caves entrances: Krem Kandacho (river outlet) 10 minutes walk from the Kopili river, Suna Krem (river outlet) direct on the Kopili river and Krem Chaklo (double doline, small river inlet) near the ridge or spur (?) with an unidentified name. Within 24 hours, however, the drunkards in the function of representative envoys established a stunningly counter-productive impression on the visited abstainers, which soon lead to a result were simply No other caves where noticed in the area (Anonymous et al. 2010.03.29 Mss: Diary (current) 2010.doc: 18th February). 2012.02.17, trip 2: Not merely a certain Ledeimon Pakem instead of Iedeimon Pakem (Iadei Mon Pakem) but also Lius Dkhar and Peter Pakem from the village of Moo Knor guided Brian D. Kharpran Daly, Thomas Arbenz, Fraser E Simpson and Graham Marshall on 17th Feb 2012 (Friday) to more caves (Krem Chad Khlaw 1&2) of low character (anonymous Arbenz, T et al. 2013.08.07 Diary 012.doc).
