The Virginia Region (VAR) of the National Speleological Society (NSS) is a collection of over 40 local caving groups in and around Virginia and surrounding states. We explore and maps caves, protect and conserve caves, manage limited access caves, and generally promote safe caving throughout the region.

We meet as a Region twice a year, spring and fall, to cave, socialize, and conduct business.

The VAR is chartered in the State of West Virginia.
