My favorite quote from one of the Nepal fotos: During a turbulent era 800 years ago, residents likely took refuge in caves, returning to the village generations later, after the region stabilized. “One good place to live, if you’re worried about your neighbors, is in caves,” says archaeologist Mark Aldenderfer.

I have not been to this site, but they are most likely hand-dug shrines similar (though probably not as well decorated) as the Mogao Caves on the Silk Road (which I have been to) near Dunhuang, western China. They are probably not karst kinda caves. http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/440 DirtDoc From: germa...@aol.com To: Texascavers@texascavers.com Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2012 9:42:09 AM Subject: [Texascavers] Cave trip to Nepal, anyone?
