This cave was named Chamera Guffa (bat
cave) simply because of hundreds of bats living here. Locally it is called Chamero
Odhaar (House of Bats), we also heard the name Oderibuwan
Gupha. This cave is a few minutes footpath from Mahendra Cave, but costs
extra.
The tour starts
with a descent to the cave entrance. There is a trail through the cave, but no
light, the obligatory guide provides some light with his candle, so we recommend
very much to bring your own torches. This cave is not at all interesting -
similar to nearby Mahendra cave - except for the enormous number of bats. There
are realy thousands of bats hanging at the ceiling.
The end of the
cave is probably also a sort of highlight. The guide climbs up a steep cave
wall, probabl 15m, until a narrow hole goes back to the surface. Definitely not
suitable for big or large visitors. They have to turn around and go back to the
entrance.
