Cave Exploration · Erlong Cave | SRT Caving Equipment + Rock Climbing

Day 1: Rhino Village

All day

Around 12:00, we arrived at the Rhino Ancient Village and gathered.

Around 14:00, pack your luggage and go to the designated location in the afternoon to start adaptive training and practice SRT rope descent skills (90-meter descent on the SRT rope is an additional item. After registration, customer service will contact you to see if you want to add it to your purchase. The additional purchase fee is 300 yuan per person).

Around 17:00, we leave and return to the farmhouse, where we can visit the ancient village.

After dinner, we rested and relaxed. We suggest that you rest early tonight to recharge your batteries and prepare for the challenge of crossing the entire cave tomorrow.


Ps:

The gathering time may be slightly adjusted for different batch dates. The specific gathering time shall be subject to the notification after joining the group.

Important notice regarding Erlong Cave registration:


Hello everyone! To ensure your travel safety, we would like to explain two registration requirements:

Children aged 6-13 need to pay an additional 300 yuan to register: the coach will devote more attention to the difficulty of the team and carefully protect the safety of the children, so that the children can have fun and feel at ease.


Registration instructions for customers aged 60 and above:

A physical examination report is required to ensure physical and mental health, and the applicant must be free of heart disease, claustrophobia, or incomplete postoperative recovery.

An additional 300 yuan is required to pay for the coach to put more effort into the team's care and carefully protect the customer's safety, so that the customer can play with peace of mind.


Special Note:
The 300 RMB fee is for the coach's extra care and safety (not an additional coach).
The Adventure Camp coaching ratio is:
For groups of 1-12, two coaches are standard; for
groups of 13 or more, one additional coach is automatically assigned.
For groups with children: For
groups of 1-6 (including children), two coaches are standard;
for groups of 7 or more (including children), one additional coach is assigned.
For one-on-one coaching, the fee will be doubled. Please make an appointment in advance to arrange a coach.

Notes: 1. The journey is long and the mountain road is rugged, so you can prepare motion sickness medicine, headrests, etc.
2. If you depart from Chongqing at noon, you will arrive at Rhino Village late, so you can prepare some snacks.

Day 2: Rhino Village → Erlong Cave → Rhino Village

All day

7:00 Breakfast by yourself.

After breakfast, we will pack our equipment for the cave exploration. We will also bring hot water and other personal food supplies and prepare to enter the cave.

8:30 Transfer to local vehicle/walk to the cave entrance.

The journey through the cave takes approximately 5-6 hours (approximately 7-8 kilometers), so you'll need to prepare your own meals.
High-calorie foods such as Snickers, chocolate, energy bars, compressed biscuits, and a thermos are recommended.

Here you can find Ordovician geological structures dating back 480 million years, dense evergreen coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest vegetation, gurgling underground rivers, as well as mysterious creatures and ancient fossils that have never been seen before.

All of this tells the story of the original appearance of the earth at the beginning of its formation, long before the emergence of human beings.

After exiting the cave, you'll rest at the farmhouse. The

group will disband at Rhino Village around 5:30 PM.
Note: During the rainy season from April to October, the cave may flood, which may extend the activity time and increase the return time.


Returning that day will be late, so we do not recommend arranging transportation that evening.

PS: The itinerary duration and expedition progress are for reference only. The team leader will make slight adjustments to the specific expedition progress based on the actual situation of the tourists on that day.

Driving distance: about 230km, 4-5 hours

Notes: 1. During the Earth's center exploration, the dark environment will make you lose track of time and you will return to the farmhouse late. Please bring enough food for the
journey. 2. The above time points are for reference only and will be subject to the actual situation on the day.

The ancient village of Rhinoceros Village is located on top of five caves. The formation of each cave is different, but most of them were formed by the erosion of three streams above the surface. They are connected to the Yanchang River through the Quankou Cave, which is 9.6 kilometers long.

The landscape inside the cave is unique, with stalactites and stalagmites everywhere. From the cave, you can see floating thin clouds and mist shrouding them. An underground river passes through the cave, and endangered rare fish grow in the river.
