BHARARI CAVE

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

No locally known name has been identified for an either north-west or south-east facing cave entrance (no size mentioned), which gives access to what appears to be a rift cave passage (on a bearing of 145°) along a sub-vertical, anticlinal geological disturbance. About 15 m from the cave entrance, the gallery, now one metre -in diameter- (no profile mentioned), gives the impression of continuing for another 5 m or so (after DUCLUZAUX 1993d: 36, 69 schematic profile). SITUATION: At an elevation of 1150 m asl (DUCLUZAUX 1993d: 36, 69) and without recognised spatial relation -some kilometres above- the village of Bharari (note 1) in the Sarju River Valley (note 2). FABULOUS HYDROLOGY (DUCLUZAUX 1993d: 36, 37): The waters sinking in –>Shikar Cave (Bharari) on Majika Danda are believed to issue during one half a year at this resurgence cave near Bharari only to rise for the other half of the year from a spring (no name mentioned), which is said to be situated 2 km upstream an unidentified orge (no name mentioned) which arrives from somewhere (no direction mentioned) to join (no place mentioned) one or the other banks of the river Saryu (the Sarju of the maps) at a spot without recognised name.orge (no name mentioned) which arrives from somewhere (no direction mentioned) to join (no place mentioned) one or the other banks of the river Saryu (the Sarju of the maps) at a spot without recognised name.
