Cherrapunji

Cherrapunji – Where the Rain Paints the Earth
Famed as one of the wettest places on Earth, Cherrapunji (or Sohra) is a breathtaking hill station located in Meghalaya’s East Khasi Hills. Draped in mist and bathed in perpetual rain, this town is a canvas painted with cascading waterfalls, emerald valleys, and living natural wonders. The town’s iconic claim to fame is its record-setting rainfall, but there’s far more to Cherrapunji than its weather. Towering waterfalls such as Nohkalikai Falls India’s tallest plunge waterfall and Seven Sisters Falls tumble down the cliffs with thundering grace, creating natural spectacles all year round. Among Cherrapunji’s most fascinating attractions are the living root bridges, especially the Double Decker Root Bridge in Nongriat. These bridges, crafted over generations by the Khasi people using the aerial roots of rubber trees, showcase nature and culture in perfect collaboration. Nature lovers can trek through lush forest trails, visit Mawsmai Caves filled with stalactites and stalagmites or gaze at panoramic views from Dainthlen Falls and Thangkharang Park. The Eco Park, perched on a high plateau, offers expansive views of the Sylhet plains in Bangladesh on a clear day. Cherrapunji’s cultural charm is equally enriching. The Khasi tribal traditions, local storytelling, and vibrant village life offer a unique window into Meghalaya’s heritage. With cozy homestays, refreshing cuisine, and welcoming locals, Cherrapunji is a place where you don’t just visit you feel.
