About Cherrapunji

Cherrapunji, officially known as Sohra, is a scenic town nestled in the East Khasi Hills of Meghalaya, India. Famous for once being the wettest place on Earth, it receives heavy rainfall throughout the year due to the monsoon winds hitting the Khasi Hills. It sits at an altitude of around 1,430 meters (4,690 ft) and offers dramatic landscapes with rolling green hills, waterfalls, caves, and valleys. This charming town is celebrated for its limestone caves, living root bridges, and majestic waterfalls like Nohkalikai Falls, the tallest plunge waterfall in India. Other notable falls include Seven Sisters Falls, Dainthlen Falls, and Kynrem Falls.

Cherrapunji is home to the indigenous Khasi tribe, known for their rich culture, traditional lifestyle, and eco-friendly way of living. One of the most impressive human-nature symbiosis examples is the living root bridges, made from the aerial roots of rubber trees trained over decades to form walkable bridges across streams. The region's subtropical highland climate, mist-covered cliffs, and lush vegetation create a surreal atmosphere, especially during the monsoon. The Mawsmai Cave and Arwah Cave offer fascinating stalactite and stalagmite formations and are popular among tourists.

Landscape and Environment

Cherrapunji, perched atop the East Khasi Hills in Meghalaya, boasts a dramatic and diverse landscape shaped by extreme rainfall and lush vegetation. The terrain is a mix of undulating plateaus, deep gorges, mist-covered cliffs, and rolling hills blanketed with dense tropical forests. The region is carved by numerous rivers and waterfalls, the most famous being Nohkalikai Falls—India’s tallest plunge waterfall.

The limestone-rich soil has led to the formation of incredible natural caves, such as Mawsmai and Arwah, which feature stunning rock formations. The environment is kept cool and damp year-round by frequent rain and cloud cover, fostering an ecosystem rich in mosses, ferns, and orchids.

Activities and Tourism

Cherrapunji offers a blend of adventure, nature, and culture, making it a perfect getaway for travelers seeking unique experiences. One of the most iconic activities is trekking to the Living Root Bridges, especially the Double-Decker Bridge in Nongriat, which requires a scenic but challenging hike of over 3,000 steps through lush forests. Visitors can also explore limestone caves like Mawsmai, Arwah, and Krem Phyllut, known for their incredible rock formations. For nature lovers, waterfall hopping is a must—don’t miss Nohkalikai, Seven Sisters, and Dainthlen Falls.

Birdwatching, photography, and picnicking in eco-parks and cliffside viewpoints offer relaxing alternatives. The Eco Park and Thangkharang Park provide panoramic views of the Bangladeshi plains. During monsoon, Cherrapunji transforms into a lush, misty dreamland. Culturally, one can interact with the local Khasi tribes, learn about their customs, and enjoy local cuisine.

Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Cherrapunji is from October to May. During these months, the weather is pleasant, skies are clearer, and it's ideal for sightseeing, trekking, and exploring caves and waterfalls. Winter (November to February) offers cool and crisp air with beautiful misty views—perfect for photographers and nature lovers. While June to September is the monsoon season, Cherrapunji becomes lush and magical with roaring waterfalls and dense fog. However, heavy rains may hinder travel plans, so this period is best suited for rain lovers and monsoon adventurers.
