Krem Mawmluh

Cherrapunji (Sohra), Meghalaya, India
Krem Mawmluh is one of the most significant and historically important caves in Meghalaya and the Indian subcontinent. It is the fourth-longest cave in India, with a complex network of passages, chambers, and stunning limestone formations. What makes Krem Mawmluh unique is that a river flows through the cave, which can be explored in certain sections. The cave is a challenging destination, making it a favorite for experienced cavers and adventure enthusiasts. The cave's entrance is located at an elevation of 4,503 meters, and a deep, refreshing pool greets visitors. The cave is a living example of a geological time capsule, with evidence of ancient human life and fascinating geological processes. The stalactites and stalagmites are a visual delight, and the sheer scale of the cave is awe-inspiring. A recent scientific discovery has led to the identification of a new geological age, the 'Meghalayan Age,' based on a stalagmite from this very cave, making it a site of global scientific importance. This discovery has placed Cherrapunji on the world map for geologists and archaeologists.
