- Prasanna NKathua, India64 contributionsGarden Of Caves: A Microcosm of MeghalayaGarden of Caves is located in Cherrapunji in a place called Sohra. The goverment should be credited for developing this spot into a gorgeous exhibition all the natural marvels that Meghalaya has on offer. There are a total of seven or eight spots each bearing a traditional name. The spots range from waterfalls to jet streams to hangng rocks. A heart shaped relief and foetus shaped etch add to the myth effect. The Garden is hidden in a remote corner of Cherrapunji and is generally overlooked by many tourists which consider it as just another water body. However, the Garden is aesthetically assembled with ample diversity. It is a photographers delight allowing one to get up, close and personal with nature's bounty. At 100 rupees per head it is a strongly recommended must visit place.Visited July 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 25 August 2023
- Biju NMumbai, India59 contributionsNature's hidden gem in MeghalayaThis is a must visit nature's gem when you visit Cheerapunji. We visited this place during the first week of October 2021 and as the state was opening up for fully vaccinated tourists. We had a great time exploring the beautiful cascading waterfalls and caves inside. There was hardly anyone else inside so literally had the whole place for ourself and had a time of our life sitting peacefully inside gazing at nature's beauty. There are also many helpful guides inside to help you explore this place at leisure. Overall an underrated place but please put this place in your bucket list when you visit Meghalaya 😀Visited October 2021Travelled with familyWritten 22 October 2021
- TamsinGuwahati, India282 contributionsAbsolutely Worth It!The Garden of Caves in Sohra is this fantastic trail that leads you through a landscape of green forest, small open caves, springs, waterfalls & streams. I didn’t exactly expect so much in one area. The place is well kept and clean. The tickets are minimally priced with volunteers guiding you from various points at the trail making it your own unique experience rather than the space being shown as a guided tour. The stone paths and stairways are well laid out and caves lit. There’s a clean washroom toward the end of the trail and the entrance has a wash basin and had sanitiser. I was impressed and shall look forward to visiting this stunning nature trail again. P.S: Wear Walking Shoes, Carry water, a wind sheeter or an umbrella.Visited October 2021Travelled with friendsWritten 9 October 2021

As you explore the intricately natural setting, you'll be captivated by the sight of caves nestled amidst rocky hills, waterfalls cascading down with grace, and streams meandering through the lush greenery. The well-organized paths guide you through this hidden gem, allowing you to witness the beauty of nature up close. As you stroll along the man-made paths, you'll be treated to the mesmerizing views of five majestic waterfalls and the soothing sound of narrow streams. The combination of caves, waterfalls, and streams creates a harmonious symphony of natural wonders that will leave you in awe.
The Monsoon is the ideal weather to visit this place. You will be thrilled to the natural beauty. 100 INR fees and Camera Extra.

A lesser known gem in Cherrapunji. It comprises of 11 points that can be covered in upto 1.5 hours. They consist of gorgeous waterfalls and few caves in an intricately natural setting. One gets to experience the unique natural setup that Meghalaya provides, with easy to moderate trek.

I loved everything. I loved meeting a little girl in that village. Eila. She was a very bright and cheerful girl. She was in 6th class. Now.. Garden of Caves was amazing, but the best thing for me to experience was the warmth that I felt. Very caring and simple people. I loved my stay there. And it is one of my best experiences.

The Garden of Caves is one of the best attractions in Sohra and quite a hidden gem. The place requires you to walk through the garden in a designated path on which you can see 11 different spots which are clearly marked. It is one place where you get to experience a river, rich flora, caves and several waterfalls very up close which was one of the best ways to view them. It was a wonderful experience and the garden was even more beautiful due to the rains.
Only point against it is that you have to walk a lot with several steps and would recommend only the first waterfall and cave experience for the ones who cannot exert much as there is a exit point just near these spots while if you go to the other spots it’s a long way back. Must visit place.

Wonderful! This is the way one can describe the spot. Very well made full of caves, waterfalls and natural beautiful. You will have to walk quite a bit with steps as well. The exercise is worth it as you get to experience natural beauty all thru. Quite a refreshing experience. Will take good amount of time to cover it in greater details.

Saw the Mawsmai caves first and then this. Thought we would go through in 15 minutes but took over 3 hours to explore this mindblowing locale.
