This cave has three main halls, one ice – pool & one ice water full. Knowing SRT and using rope is not necessary, but there are couple of shafts if someone wants more adventure.
Best season for visit is March & April which stalactites are in beautiful shape. Coldness of cave is as much as those stalagmites of ice can be observed even in khordad month.
