Bandipur & caving

Its crap weather, even worse than usual. For one week the clouds have lost their sense of place and stay on the ground. I rains every day. Usually at night and evenings, but today was huge ran also during the day just when i was finishing a trek to what probably is the biggest cave in Nepal.It was big indeed and impressive, but it was in parts pretty scary. There is no lighting, there are no security measures, no ropes, nothing. Sometimes we were just climbing! Now the only pants I have at the moment are so dirty and wet. At the same time the 8 year old nepali boy did it all in flipflops of course. It was fun watching him walking with straight back down the ladder into darkness. This was the point when one British guy said no, im not going further. But that was actually still the easy part.
The way to the cave was another story. I took a wrong way of course. Just when i decided, that this is no good and was returning back to a junction, a nepali guy came, who said, he had taken the other road from the junction and he did not reach the cave after 20 minutes. So we continued down the path that i was at. Its a grand overstatement to call it a path. Mind you everything was wet and slippery as well. My suspicion grew in time that no other tourist has ever been here. Then the path ended all of a sudden. When he suggested to continue offroad i had enough sense to say no. The only reward were the mandarin trees and the fruits were very tasty. So in my command we climbed up the hill again and took the other road. Then we came across some swiss girls who were lost too, so we all just took a moment to reflect. And voila, there came a british guy with a hired guide. Probably they make the route full of traps so that you hire someone. And it was obvious that whoever wrote the lonely planet part about this had not visited the cave, because it really was more like adventure sports than anything else. But worth it nevertheless. The "manager" at the cave said, that already tomorrow they put the ropes and fix the signs. True story!
