Hi Jayant,

Welcome to Cavechat. We'd love to have you post up reports of your caving and speleology! It's always great to hear what people are working on.

Hi! I am a geologist, but I don't do cave geology. I was a sedimentologist/paleontologist/geochemist sort. Now I work in aerospace.

BUT! :-)

I've been caving in India. I went to Meghalaya 4 years ago and am planning to return soon. There was a lot of life in the caves there. And it was big, too. The bats were much larger than in the US. I've seen frogs in caves in just two locations, Cuba in India. Undoubtedly there are some elsewhere, but those are the only places I've been to that had them.

The most amazing thing were the snakes. I'd seen rattlesnakes in the entrances of caves in the desert US, but there were snakes in the caves in India that were wayyyyyyyyyyy back inside. We figured they were eating the bats. We took digital photographs and the locals said they were "Green basket" snakes and they weren't poisonous.

Just few days back our team visited Mowhmloh Cave, Meghalaya images are already in the image gallery section of our site http://www.cave-biology.org The caves are very big and seen to be till virgin (how far survey or research is concerned). In our locality a big Kotumsar cave is existing, my Ph.D work was there only, inspite Borra Cave, Belum caves are few famous caves existing in INDIA (central part) if you desire to visit again do inform me so that you can visit this caves also.
