UMSHOR 2 (Krem)
25.177200,92.375300
Description
The first of two cave entrances (the other being Krem Umshor 3), which both give access to relatively low bedding plane cave passages sandwiched between alternating sand- and limestone bands at a horizon where Lakadong Limestone transgresses into underlying Therria Sandstone. Both caves are believed to be hydrologically linked and morphologically associated with Krem –>Umshor. ETYMOLOGY: No locally known cave names have been identified, if it exists, for the system of these two caves, which simply were dubbed Krem Umshor 2 and Krem Umshor 3 due to their proximity to Krem Umshor proper. SITUATION: The cave entrance to Krem Umshor 2 lies in an unidentified spatial relation »immediately behind« what had been in February 1999 the concrete washing place in the back of the Lumshnong village playing field. CAVE DESCRIPTION: A 1.5 m climb down into a relatively »small passage« (estimated 2 m wide, 0.4 m high, and 6 m long) leads on a bearing of 290° to a continuation blocked by collapse boulders.
