Caving · Meghalaya

Caving, Meghalaya cave systems

EXPERTRisk: HIGHINR Guided expedition ₹8,00…

The wettest place on Earth has carved some of the longest sandstone cave systems known anywhere, including multi-kilometre passages with underground rivers — most remain only partially surveyed, and exploratory trips here are genuinely closer to expedition caving than a guided tourist route.

Chadar Trek — frozen river walk

EXPERTRisk: SEVEREINR 8-day guided trek ₹20,0…

A multi-day trek along the frozen surface of the Zanskar River itself, since the gorge walls are too steep to build a conventional trail — the ice thickness varies day to day and can crack underfoot, and permits into this restricted border region are mandatory.
