Meghalaya - Cave Systems | Amazing Caves

Meghalaya is a rich reserve of cave systems in its surrounding Jaintia and Khasi hills formed by several generations of limestone deposits in the form of stalactites and stalagmites.
These cave systems are the longest caves in India. Some are the longest caves in the world.
They are home to a rich habitat of flora and fauna along with alternate life forms that have adapted themselves seamlessly to blend into the ecosystem of these caves. Of the 10 longest caves in India, 9 are lodged in the state of Meghalaya.
Mawsmai Cave is located at a short distance from Sohra i.e Cherapunji. There are some places inside the cave where you will need to squeeze around and crawl - and this adds to the experience of cave exploration. The Mawsmai cave route is small and you can enter from one side and come out from other side. This is also famous for its fossils, some which you can spot if you spend some time peering at the walls and formations inside. This cave offers a glimpse into this fascinating world underneath our feet.
Arwah Cave is the most famous caves and is accessible to regular visitors is in Sohra.
It is famous for its fossils which you can observe in the lit-up interiors, especially towards the end of the cave. You will find crustacean shells and fish bones fossilized in the limestone walls of the cave. Arwah, apart from being a place for enthusiasts of natural history, will also surprise you with its many turns and corners - a maze where you are walking one minute under a high cave ceiling, and sliding the next minute through a narrow passageway that leads to other sections. The underwater streams have continued to flow through these ancient cave formations for millennia. The walk to Arwah Cave is a very picturesque. At one point, the pathway passes through the side of the Lawshynna Hill. One can view waterfalls and the surrounding valley.
Syndai Caves Situated at a distance of 47 kilometres from Jowai. The eleven independent caves comprising the Syndai cave system are, namely, Amsohmahatang, Kriah, Amkoi, Rupasor or Ka Krem Pubon, Amkari, Lyngngohnah, Kynda Rupas or Amkhloo, Amlashriah, Amthymme and Chair. In primitive days they were used as battle hideout. They were rediscovered during the colonial days. Some of these caves expand up to a stretch of 427 kilometres during explorations. These are not well maintained as owners are not allowing government to develop.
