Kale 2 Cave is very close to the Kale 1 Cave and has a very narrow entrance. After the entrance, the cave divides into two shafts. The main shaft has some flowstone formations but is mostly covered by depression rocks. The other shaft is filled with suspended rocks and there is a high risk of falling stone. The shaft ends with a very narrow crack covered by flowstone formations. No archaeological relics have been found on the cave floor of Kale 2 Cave. No bats were encountered in Kale 2 Cave in either of the surveys.
