Cave Limelighted

[jayant]

A well established cave MANDHIP KHOL (CAVE) has been limelighted by our Biospeleological team. It is a limestone cave and may be of several kilometers long. The cave is located at Dist. Rajnandgaon of Chhattisgarh, India. This cave has major two opening, one submerged into water (wet opening) other dry one. Local villagers use to worship this cave because the river flowing in this region has been found to be originated from this cave only.

This cave has been found as BIODIVERSITY enriched. We can say that scientifically it is yet virgin. In that area we estimated more than a dozen of cave are existing. Few photographs of Mandhip Khol cave have been uploaded in the Image gallery section. Please click the URL

Very interesting. Mnay caves here in Tennessee have also been found to have great biodiversity and often new species living within. This has been the source of many good studies as well as evidence for protecting certain water sources and karst areas. It is very important information when used properly.

The linked site has some fine photographs as well. Worth taking a look at for sure!

Thanks for Appreciation. In our Country India, the subject (Biospeleology) and the interest in caving are just in its initiative step. Hope the site will provide interesting stuff in coming future.
