Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

A rift cave entrance drops an estimated 3 m down into a relatively narrow but high (0.8 by 7 m) canyon passage that runs for an estimated 50 m in a northerly direction. At this point the passage divides with the lower section becoming quickly very narrow whilst the upper part of the passage closes down after another 10 m in a small chamber and an area of breakdown. SITUATION: Somewhere in the vicinity of Ahmadun (Ahmadoon, Ahmedoon, Ahmadum), which itself lies north of the Quetta - Ziarat Road, in an obvious gash in the hillside above the western bank of a small tributary, and at an estimated distance of 500 m without identified direction opposite of –>Thewarui Chure Ghara (Brooks, S J 1997 Mss: Pakistan Cave Database).
