A short, lit limestone passage near Sohra — the cave most first weeks can actually walk
Mawsmai is the show cave on the Sohra circuit: a lit, ticketed stretch of limestone, low in places, wet underfoot. It is not a technical cave. It is also not the only cave in these hills — it is the one we put on a first-timer morning.
Wear shoes that can take mud. Avoid after very heavy rain if the passage is restricted. Combine with Nohkalikai, not as a separate day.
The comfortable walk.
Expect drip and closures on some days.
Cold air at the mouth.
The usual add-on to Nohkalikai.
Tell us if anyone in the group dislikes confined spaces. We will not force the cave.
