Charisma of Cherrapunjee

Major Tourist Attractions of Cherrapunjee

Sohra is the official & local name of Cherrapunjee, it is located approx. 56 kms from Shillong city. It carried the title of “the wettest place on Earth”.

The first spot to cover just before reaching Cherrapunjee, is the Dain-Thlen Falls. One can relish the beauty of nature from here.

Next is the Noh-Sngithiang Falls, also known as Mawsmai Falls. Here, several waterfalls flow down together to a gorge.

Tourist cannot miss the adventure of entering the Mawsmai Cave, but one has to be careful from the slippery route inside, though well-light & safe.

Nohkalikai Falls is the highest falls in Meghalaya, it’s a

treat to eye. Local honey, cinamonum (hindi-Dalchini), etc is available in this spot.

Thangkharang Park is a place one can relax & encompass environmental pleasure with a clear view of Kynrem falls.

Eco park is a green park, you can get the feel of being in clouds & also see the origin of one of the waterfalls. A particular attraction is the missing waterfalls, no idea about the origin & base of this falls (currently covered with grill).

Khoh Ramhah is a “Giants Basket” also known as “Motrop”. This place has a huge rock dome also called as Pillar rock. Visitors can catch a panoramic view of Bangladesh from this place.

Living Root Bridge is located at the Laitkynsew and Nongriat villages. This bridge is naturally constructed with strong roots. An awesome place for trekkers & adventure lovers.

Mawlynnong village is another picnic spot which carries the title of Asia’s cleanest village, here the local villagers assure hygiene. It is situated very close to Bangladesh border.

If you happen to visit Shillong, Cherrapunjee & the surrounding areas are must see places. Don’t miss it.

Happy Travelling!

ANNA HAZARE’S CRUSADE WAS NOT FOR HIMSELF BUT FOR ALL THE INDIANS.

We, the Shillongites, stride on the 9^th of April for the righteous cause, various activists groups like the Grand Council of Chiefs of Meghalaya (GCCM), Art of Living, Central Puja Committee, Khasi Students Union (KSU), Federation of Khasi, Jaintia and Garo People (FKJGP), Civil Society of Women Organisation (CSWO), Sikkim Manipal University (SMU), Meghalaya Trade Union and others participated in the convention. A draft was circulated during the meeting for the signature campaign, to get the public opinion on the Right to information movement.

I am including few points mentioned in the draft for an effective Anti Corruption Commission below:

1. It has to be independent

2. The selection process of Commissioners has to be transparent & participatory,

3. It needs pro-active powers to investigate & charge sheet corruption in all aspects of governance & public life, from Chief Minister to office assistant.

4. A fast track court has to be associated with the commission, which shall have to give time bound judgments. Commission should have its own independent legal team to represent it.

5. It has to be accessible & people friendly like RTI & have a strong relationship to the RTI Act.

This gathering showed the public strength & keenness to eradicate corruption from the system. We look forward for the success & constant follow-up of the Jan Lokpal Bill (Citizen's Ombudsman Bill).

Its time, we, Indians must curb out corruption; neither participate nor allow others to veil dishonesty.

Jai Hind!
