Spelunking, otherwise known as caving, is defined as the
hobby or practice of exploring caves. Caving is termed as “spelunking”
primarily in the United Stated and Canada while it is referred to as
“potholing” in the UK and Ireland. Nevertheless, internationally, it widely
recognized as caving and spelunking is now becoming a widely-accepted
terminology.
Caving is usually undertaken as a form of pastime activity,
an outdoor activity for physical exercise, for simple exploration of nature, an
avenue for another hobby such as photography, or an arena for a team sport. If
you go there in a big group, it will surely enhance your camaraderie as this
will uplift the spirit of unity among members.
Our group was composed of 18 people but since some of them
have been to the place just few weeks ago, they decided not to join. One was
not able to join because she was not fit to do the activity. So, we were around
15 people who did the challenging activity. Together with our guide, we had to
surpass the challenges of getting through those narrow pathways, getting
scratches and scars because of some slippery parts and the rough stones,
hanging to the vines, stepping on a hanging ladder, and many more.
After going through all those things, the price is the good
view outside and the thought of having accomplished such a challenging and
risky activity. Because we enjoyed it, some of us even asked for more (haha!).
