From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Napal Licin, sometimes written as Napal Litjin from the Dutch East Indies era, is a location in south Sumatra that was visited by European explorers at the end of the 19th century.[1] A cave in the area, Napal Licin Cave, features stalactites and stalagmites and is a tourist attraction that can be reached by boat up the Rawas River,[2][3] a tributary of the Musi River.
Henry Ogg Forbes reached Napal Licin during his expedition to central Sumatra. He described it as a picturesque village at the base of a perpendicular limestone peak, Karang-nata (Karang Nato). He climbed it, describing the caves with stalactites and thousands of bats he encountered, as well as ferns, orchids, and a species of Boea. He also found a species of nutmeg with fruit "as large as the largest orange". He also found ants "milking" a Hemipteron which produced droplets for them.[4]
