The exploration of the Caves of Meghalaya is currently undertaken for both scientific and recreational pursuits,[5]) and there are still many unexplored and partially explored caves in the state.[6] The annual caving expeditions organized by Meghalaya Adventurers Association (MAA) are known as "Caving in the Abode of the Clouds Project".[6][7] The caves, because they are located primarily in limestone formations, continue to come under threat from the limestone mining industry.
