Why it matters
Why Hundung Mova Cave is worth your time
Limestone caves are uncommon in this part of Manipur's hills, and the district lists two of them for visitors, Hundung Mova and Khangkhui Mangsor. Together they show the geology under the Tangkhul hills.
The cave is a modest stop rather than a major attraction, but it works well as a break on the long drive from Imphal. Visit with a local guide, take your litter with you and leave the cave as you found it.

How to experience it
Hundung Mova Cave is a limestone cave listed on the Ukhrul district tourism page as a short detour before you reach Ukhrul. If you are driving up from Imphal, tell your driver in advance so you can stop on the way rather than backtrack from town.
Ask in the village for a local guide, and take a strong torch, sturdy shoes and a spare layer, because caves stay cool and damp. Move slowly, do not touch formations, and do not take away stones or objects.
Allow about an hour. Then continue to Ukhrul, where the town is a short drive away and you can check in and rest before planning the next day.
