Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 15/07/2016

A tiny cave sanctuary in laminated schist (Precambrian) lies about halfway between Galeshwar (Galeshvar, Jaleshor) and Kalipul (north of Beni) on the right (western) bank of Kali Gandaki valley. It shelters some speleothems (flowstone, a short calcite column), a bit of a pool and several venerated stones in a single chamber (1 m broad, 3 m long and 2 m high) of tetrahedric shape. CHABERT (1996.11.15 Mss): »The Jaleshor Gupha is already in your files.

Histoire
