Squeeze through

Mawsmai Cave in February

The lit limestone crawl everyone can do.

Quick answer. Dry and cool. Trails and caves at their most accessible. For Mawsmai Cave specifically, February is a comfortable month with the usual hill-state caveats.

Why February here

A short, illuminated limestone cave on the Sohra plateau: stalactites, squeezes and an exit into daylight.

Mawsmai is Meghalaya’s walk-in cave: a lit, one-way passage of limestone squeezes and stalactite chambers a few kilometres from Sohra, doable in 20 minutes by anyone who does not mind a crouch.
