BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Confined spaces are the activity
There are sections you pass through on your stomach with rock against your back. If that is not for you, this is the wrong trip and there is no shame in saying so at the entrance.
Three light sources, always
A helmet lamp plus two backups is the standard. The operator supplies them; check yours works before you go underground.
Caves are colder than the walk in
Constant temperature year round, usually around 10-15C, and you will be wet. Layers under the overall, not over it.
Nothing comes out but you
No touching formations, no marks, no souvenirs. A stalactite takes a century to grow a centimetre and a second to break.

Sightings were thin on our dates, which is luck, but the drives felt rushed. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.

Reply from The Monsoon Ledger

Thank you for travelling with us — glad the route worked out.

Excellent sightings and the guides clearly knew the area. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. No hesitation recommending them.

Meghalaya was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Would book with them again.

Questions people ask

There are squeeze sections and there is chest-deep water. Day two is a lit walk-through cave specifically so that anyone who discovers they cannot do this discovers it on day two rather than four hours into Liat Prah. Nobody is talked into continuing.
