Arwah Cave

Arwah Cave near Cherrapunji is Meghalaya's most fossil-rich limestone cave — a 120-metre cave system through which a stream runs, containing ancient marine fossils embedded in the cave walls estimated to be 12,000 years old. The Khasi name "Arwah" means spirit or soul, and the cave is considered sacred. Less commercialised than Mawsmai Cave, it offers a more adventurous and scientifically fascinating caving experience. A top Cherrapunji offbeat attraction for geology and nature enthusiasts.
