DANIYAL CAVE-TONEKABON
This cave is located on the south of motelghoo a part of tonekabon.It is 2033 meters long and full of adventure!Its an active cave which seems to be unique as much as we know. Just bats were seen in the first hall and no other animals.
At first its almost easy but the farther you go the harder it becomes.
The amount of water in the cave is influenced by the season so we choosed this time of the year wich the water becomes less than any other time.
It takes more than 6 hours to go to the end and come back. The main path has been completely explored but it's still too soon to say that we know the cave exactly. The paths which are different from the main one needs careful consideration.
Some Details
The cave entrance is about 300 meters above sea level. Just after entering the cave you start descending in an almost steep slope then there is a horizontal tunnel about 150 meters long with the river flow and this is the best place to do the last arrangements of group before getting deep into the cave.
The rest is a great collection of almost all kinds of stalegtites and stalegmites. Flowstones in this cave are so shining and nice. Be ready for the treasure of beauty. Deep inside Daniyal there are great places for turning the headlights off and listening to the music of water, Places for listening to yourself.
