Why November 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.
