Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

A crawly bit of an ascending gallery (a metre wide and a half high) along fissures and clefts in schist becomes impenetrable 7 m from the cave entrance (note 1). There is a small chamber at a higher level and the main passage communicates with two daylight windows above. The floor is covered with very dry dust. SITUATION: Near the village of Salampur / Eslampur (note 2), between Shewa / Sewa (note 3) and Nurgal (note 4). The cave entrance itself lies 25 m from the road (on the left when driving to -Djelalabad- = Jalalabad) and at floor level.A crawly bit of an ascending gallery (a metre wide and a half high) along fissures and clefts in schist becomes impenetrable 7 m from the cave entrance (note 1).
