3. Mount Suswa Conservancy
The double crater at Suswa is fascinating because it has a moat-like interior crater that encloses a slanted granite outcrop. On the northeast side of the outer crater, the mountain is distinguished by a network of caves formed by lava tubes. A primary motivation for founding the Mount Suswa Conservancy was the need to stop the widespread destruction of the mountain’s ecosystem and encourage responsible use of its resources.
