03 Siju, Meghalaya

Known as the ‘Scotland of India’, Meghalaya is home to majestic hills with unquenchable beauty and some unique spots. One such offbeat location is Siju Caves which is one of the world’s longest caves on the Indian subcontinent. Also known as bat caves, it is also one of the most dangerous places in India and has several chambers forming unexplored mazes. The way to the caves also includes a short hike across a jungle trail. Over four kilometers long, these caves have water up to your knees, and the inside of the cave has majestic natural limestone formations and mysterious hanging bridges. This rickety bridge, built of chipping wood and patched rope, is situated high in the mountains between two hills and guarantees to give you more than a few scares! Since the past few years, there has been a growth in airline routes to the region resulting in swiffer traveling options.
