Our day began in Cherrapunji, and it was one of those classic misty mornings that Meghalaya is known for. The fog was so thick that visibility was almost zero, making everything feel mysterious and a bit thrilling. Despite the mist, we were all excited to start our day and headed straight to Mawsmai Caves, our first stop.
When we reached the caves, the fog added a magical vibe to the whole area. Mawsmai Caves are one of the most popular attractions in Cherrapunji and known for their natural limestone formations.
Stepping into Mawsmai Caves was like entering another world. The caves are filled with unique rock formations, sharp stalactites hanging from the ceiling, and smooth paths carved by years of water flow. Some parts were narrow and required a little bit of squeezing through, which added to the fun! The inside was dimly lit, and the echoes of our voices and footsteps made the experience feel even more mysterious.
The caves aren’t very long—about 150 meters—so it doesn’t take too long to go through them. But the sights inside are beautiful and worth every step. We paused at different spots to take photos, laugh at our attempts to squeeze through, and admire the natural formations.
Once we emerged from the cave, the mist was still all around us, giving the whole area an almost magical, otherworldly look. The fog had created a quiet, peaceful atmosphere, and we enjoyed just standing around, breathing in the fresh air, and taking a few more group photos.
At the same time, the mist blocked our view of the surroundings. After exploring Mawsmai Caves, we visited the Seven Sisters Viewpoint, but unfortunately, we couldn’t see anything due to the thick fog.
If you’re in Cherrapunji, Mawsmai Caves are a must-visit. The unique rock formations, the thrill of exploring narrow passageways, and the overall natural beauty make it an unforgettable experience. For us, the misty weather only added to the adventure, making our visit to Mawsmai Caves even more special.
