The world’s longest sandstone cave has been discovered in Meghalaya. So drop your Goa plans and head out to the Northeast this summer!
Krem Puri in Meghalaya, is a staggering three times bigger than Mount Everest! Yes, our jaw is still on the floor. Here’s more: this 24.5km sandstone cave is also home to dinosaur fossils, especially the Mosasaurus, a giant reptile that lived 66-76 million years ago. Jurassic Park feels, anyone?
Krem Puri is not the only cave you will get to see. Scientists and explorers have unearthed a ton of new caves in Mawsynram. Plus, add all the stunning waterfalls and limestone caves to your list. And if you’re into adventure sports, tick off your bucket list in Meghalaya – trekking, river rafting, cave diving, and more.
Krem Puri is near the village of Laitsohum in the Mawsynram area of East Khasi Hills district, 70km from Shillong. The nearest airport is in Shillong from where it’s just about an hour’s drive, but if you want to get a taste of Meghalaya’s insane scenic beauty, take the 4-hour drive from Guwahati.
You can opt for home stays in Mawsynram or put your bags down at Shillong or Cherrapunjee. You can try out this mountain-chic Pinterest-y resort in Cherrapunjee called Polo Orchid Resort. They even have log cabins, situated on top of the hill with an insane view of the villas below. And guess what, these log cabins even come with their own private plunge pools overlooking the valley!
