Squeeze through

Mawsmai Cave in March

The lit limestone crawl everyone can do.

Quick answer. Spring. Warmer days, occasional showers begin late in the month. For Mawsmai Cave specifically, March is a comfortable month with the usual hill-state caveats.

Why March 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.
