Mawjymbuin Cave is located in the lush, subtropical region of Meghalaya, in the northeastern part of India, near the town of Mawphlang, Shillong. Known for its impressive stalagmites and stalactites, this natural wonder is a fascinating destination for geologists, adventurers, and tourists alike. The cave is situated atop a hill and is formed entirely out of calcareous sandstones. Inside the cave, a striking feature is a massive stalagmite, which has been shaped by nature into a Shivalinga. The cave's interior is illuminated by natural light filtering through various openings, allowing visitors to marvel at its stunning rock formations and mineral deposits. Over time, water percolating through the rocks has created some unique and dramatic speleothems. The cave is indeed a natural marvel and also holds spiritual significance for the local community. Mawjymbuin Cave is a must-visit for those interested in exploring the mystical and serene side of Meghalaya's landscape.

Can be Skipped

I personally didn't like this place that much. It can easily be skipped. Other caves near Cherrapunjee are much better. There is a natural Shivling formation inside the cake. No lights so you cant see..

Lifetime experience- cave

One must visit this natural cave- Well lighted and ventilated. Try to time it before sunset else passage becomes dark. No scare of birds or Bats and no foul smell. Rare experience.
