The experience
A day rooted in place
Trek toward Krem Puri — one of the longest sandstone caves in the world, stretching over 24 kilometres. Inside, cool ancient air, wet walls, and silence that feels far from the noise outside.
Why TRIS chose it
The story behind the journey
The cave is said to hold prehistoric fish fossils; Khasi stories even speak of fairies once living here. Two routes exist — fossil zone and underground pool — a full day if you want both. Local guides often bring photography enthusiasm along with safety.
