Tour Description
Perched high in the Khasi Hills, Cherrapunji is a destination where nature unfurls in grand, unrestrained beauty. Often hailed as the Scotland of the East, this small town in Meghalaya — the Abode of Clouds — enchants visitors with its ever-shifting skies, emerald valleys, and dramatic waterfalls that plunge into deep gorges. Here, each dawn arrives wrapped in silvery mist, slowly revealing rolling hills and meandering streams that look straight out of a watercolor painting.
Once the wettest place on Earth, Cherrapunji still wears its rain-drenched reputation proudly, with annual downpours nourishing the living root bridges — extraordinary feats of bioengineering woven by generations of the Khasi people. These ancient pathways, formed from the aerial roots of rubber trees, stand as quiet marvels of harmony between humans and nature.
From the towering Nohkalikai Falls — the world’s fourth-highest waterfall — to the panoramic Thangkharang Park gazing toward Bangladesh’s plains, Cherrapunji offers experiences that leave an indelible mark on every traveler. Whether you’re exploring echoing limestone caves, tracing the origins of countless streams, or simply breathing in the cool, rain-scented air, Cherrapunji is a place where the landscape itself seems alive, whispering stories of timeless wonder.
