Hello Galkas,

hope you are doing well. i saw this post while i was researching for any info on Sarma.

My friend and I are planning to visit Sarma some time this year and we couldn't find any information on the dates, calendar nor the caving groups that manage Sarma.

I have emailed Pavel (the expedition leader you have mentioned in your post) but I received no reply yet.

Any help/tips is highly appreciated . Please advise

thank you and regards,
Toufic
