Description

Martin Ellis - 25/08/2020

A series of parallel rifts, the main passage having a cement floor leading to a platform and two Buddhas. To the north a tall rift dimly lit from roof holes was not fully explored, while leading off in the other direction a level passage leads to a rock-strewn slope with daylight filtering from above.
