Kumari Cave

 * The main entrance to the cave, August 2016
 * The Kumari Cave, also called Crazy Cave, belongs to a cave system in Nepal, which is located north of Pokhara near the village of Armala at an altitude of around 900 meters.
 * === description ===
 * The limestone cave is about 150 meters long, 25 feet high and consists of 7 chambers. Due to its U-shaped extension, it looks almost twice as long. Three entrances lead into the cave, with little attempt to wall the largest of the entrances. A meditation chamber with an altar naturally created by stalactites is at the far end of the cave, which was only rediscovered in September 2009. There are other caves in the immediate vicinity, such as Mahendra Cave and Bat Cave.
 * === Legend ===
 * The Kumari Cave (Eng. Crazy cave) got its name from the fact that, according to the story, everyone who enters the cave begins to perceive certain things, e.g. B. whispering, moving shadows, eyes in the dark etc. and anyone who stays in the cave for longer. This property of the cave made it popular for meditation and spiritual experiences. The rearmost chamber was used as a meditation room and provided with a variety of spiritual objects.
 * === investigations
 * In spring 2016, adventurer and treasure hunter Rob Schmidt led an expedition to the cave to examine it more closely. The investigations showed that the peculiarities of the cave arise from the properties of the cave. The cave has a high concentration of crystals in the walls and floor. If you have a light such as If you let a flashlight or torch slide over the walls, the light is thrown back so that it casts a multitude of moving shadows together with the high bat population of the cave. The cave also has three entrances; the main entrance to the north, the ceiling entrance to the north-west and the largest entrance to the east. If a gust of wind blows through the entrances, it sounds in the cave as if someone were whispering. So the phenomena all have an explanation. Some ritual artifacts have been found in the cave's meditation chamber.
