Aiming to participate in an international caving expedition in NE India, Leila Esfandyari and Erfan Fekri will leave Tehran toward New Delhi on Friday, February 5th.
Erfan Fekri said to IMZ News: "“we are invited by British coordinator of the expedition, Simon Brooks to take part in an international team composed of 22 European, 2 Iranian and 6 Indian cavers. This expedition has planned to survey and explore a few caves in a region known as "Abode of the Clouds" located in Megalaya, north east of India during a period of 20 days."
According to his report, a few training courses in the fields of caving and speleology has been assumed to be held besides surveying the caves, e.g. a diving course, which will be taught by twelve Indian shipmen.
These two Iranian cavers are sponsored by ACI (Alpine Club of Iran), Damavand Mountaineering and Ski Club and "Lavasan" Mountaineering group.
