Beneath Meghalaya's green hills lies a hidden world of vast limestone caves, among the longest and most spectacular anywhere on the planet. Wander the easy, lit passages of Mawsmai, follow river-carved Siju, and marvel at the immense Krem Liat Prah, one of the world's longest cave systems. Our tours pair caving with waterfalls, root bridges and Khasi culture. Packages start from around ₹19,999, with flights to Guwahati additional to the land cost.

Caving in Meghalaya

Meghalaya's limestone hills hide thousands of caves, several ranking among the world's longest and deepest. From gentle show caves to serious expedition systems, the state is a global caving destination hiding in plain sight.

Caves for Every Level

There is a cave to suit everyone.

  • Mawsmai and Arwah: easy, lit and family-friendly
  • Siju: a scenic river cave in the Garo Hills
  • Krem Mawmluh: adventurous river passages
  • Krem Liat Prah: a true expedition cave for experts

How to Reach

Guwahati is the gateway airport, connected from South India, with the caves reached by road via Shillong and Cherrapunji. We arrange transfers and specialist caving guides for the wilder systems. Flights are additional to the land package.

Best Time to Visit

October to April is ideal, when river caves are safer and trails drier. The monsoon floods many cave passages and is best avoided, so we schedule caving in the dry months.

Safety & What to Bring

Show caves need only good shoes, while wild caves require a guide, helmet and torch, which we arrange. Wear quick-dry clothes and expect to get wet in river caves. Never enter serious caves without a qualified guide.

Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
