Mawsmai Cave, Cherrapunji

Mawsmai Cave in Cherrapunji is one of the most accessible caves for most common travellers, because of its simplicity which allow visitors to travel through it without any special preparation or assistance from any guide, etc.

The 150 m cave is almost entirely lit from inside which makes it even easier for one to find the way. The cave has a large entrance, but the passage gets really small very soon. With lots of bends and turns, it can be quite an adventurous experience, but also could get a little suffocating if stuck with a large group of people.

The inside of the cave is home to various species of flora and fauna and forms an excellent home for bats and insects. The beautiful formation of the rocks merely formed from dripping water is truly another wonder of nature. Booking a tourist cab or bus from Shillong would be the most feasible way to reach the Mawsmai Cave.
