Viala China

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

A spring (china, chenna) rises from a cave entrance (1 m wide and 2 m high) in shattered rocks. There is a second entrance, probably caused by collapse, about 4 m above the lower entrance. The 8 m long cave is probably enlarged by man. In the very back of the cave water issues from impenetrable fissures in limestone. SITUATION: At a place called something along the lines of Thanda Wani (note 1) at a location about 30 m above the valley floor and on the south flank of Nagar Ghar mountain (note 2) on one of the roads to Pui (N30°21': E068°05'). CAVE LIFE: A freshwater crab (Crustacea: Palaemonida) and circa. 3 m to 15 cm long, dark coloured fish.A spring (china, chenna) rises from a cave entrance (1 m wide and 2 m high) in shattered rocks.
