The Kumari Caves Expedition. My first expedition was kind of a coincidence. I was living In Nepal for a few months, and I heard this story of a cave. This Cave was said to make everyone who enters lose their minds. Like every rational thinking person, I was intrigued. I wanted to find this cave. I asked around the locals if anyone knew where the cave could be found but no one knew where it was exactly. So I gathered a small team who should guide me to a village that was supposed to be near the caves. After weeks in the jungle, my team and I finally reached the village, there they told me that people in another village knew where the cave would be, but I would need a blessing from a monk who lived in another cave to be allowed to look for the cave because I am a foreigner. It took us another few weeks to get to the Mahendra Cave to get the blessing for me and then just a few days to get to the small village near the city of Pokhara. In the village, the villagers welcomed me and even got me another guide. Together we walked through the jungle to the cave. After a month in the jungle, it was incredible to have found the cave. My team and I documented the cave, its location, special features, and anything else noteworthy. At the altar room at the far end of the cave, we even collected a few artifacts, with the blessing of the state, the nearby village, and the spiritual side of Nepal. After I took a second look at my documentation and thought about what I experienced at the cave, I came up with a scientific solution to the phenomenon of the Kumari Caves who turned people mad. The Layout of the Cave, with its three entrances, the wind which blew through the entrances together with the flying bats made it sound like many voices were whispering. The walls with its many crystals could reflect the beam of a torch so it looked like there were movement everywhere. Mix all this with the Legend the people tell about this place and you could go mad when you would meditate in the Cave.
