| The Intrepid Explorers: Swati, Taylor, Ben, Eric, Rana, Partha, Saeid, Kevan, Comran and Saikat (Randy's managing the camera). Behind them, the abyss from which few return. Normally a stream is in the base of the cave where the gang was standing; a drought made the cave quite maneuverable with only a bit of water. | The successful few: Taylor Ben, Swati, Partha, Eric and Saikat (Randy's managing the camera), countless thousands of feet into the cave.
