Krem Phyllut

Cherrapunji (Sohra), Meghalaya, India
While Mawsmai and Krem Mawmluh are well-known, Krem Phyllut is a more off-the-beaten-path cave that offers an authentic and thrilling caving experience. The cave system is known for its intricate passages, stunning limestone formations, and a river that flows through it. Krem Phyllut is less develop ed for tourism compared to its more famous counterparts, which makes the exploration a true adventure. The cave's main chamber, a massive hall with a high ceiling, is a breathtaking sight. The stalactites and stalagmites are unique and have been formed over thousands of years by the slow dripping of water. The cave's passages are a bit more challenging to navigate, with some sections requiring you to crawl or wade through shallow water. The cave is a living example of geological processes, and the formations are a testament to the power of water and time. The cave is also a haven for various species of bats and insects, adding to the sense of a wild, untouched environment. The journey to the cave itself is an experience, with a scenic walk through the lush green forests of the region. For those who seek adventure and a true connection with nature, Krem Phyllut is an unmissable destination.
