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!
