Known locally in Tripura as Matai Hakor or God's Cave, this natural subterranean tunnel cuts roughly 100 metres through the Alutila ridge. Sunlight cannot penetrate the cavern, so visitors descend the hillside stairs and navigate the dark passage using lit kerosene bamboo torches or phone lights while wading through cool spring water. The floor is lined with rounded stones and silt, ending in a sunlit jungle exit on the opposite side of the hill. Wear footwear with good traction, as the wet boulders inside can be slick.

How to get to Alutila Cave
About 8 km west of Khagrachhari town along the road to Matiranga. A CNG auto-rickshaw or hired local jeep (chander gari) takes about 20 minutes to reach the tourist complex.
Khagrachhari town is about 270 km from Dhaka, around 7.5 hours by road. Every way to get there is in the Khagrachhari guide.
The cave is pitch-dark and wet inside; hold onto safety railings where installed and step carefully over slick boulders.
