📍 Welcome to Sohra – The Rain Capital of India
Tucked in the heart of Meghalaya, Sohra, popularly known as Cherrapunji, is a dreamy escape where clouds touch the earth and rain nourishes everything green. Famous for being one of the wettest places on Earth, this hill station is so much more than just its weather—it's about majestic waterfalls, ancient living root bridges, and raw Khasi culture.
💧 Chasing Waterfalls: Nature’s Power on Display
Sohra is home to some of the most dramatic waterfalls in India. Must-visits include:
- Nohkalikai Falls – India’s tallest plunge waterfall, with a tragic legend and postcard-worthy views.
- Seven Sisters Falls – Best viewed after monsoons, these seven segmented falls tumble over limestone cliffs.
- Dainthlen Falls – Tied to Khasi folklore, these falls are perfect for a quiet, scenic picnic.
- Each waterfall offers not just a photo opportunity, but a chance to feel nature's rhythm in your bones.
🌿 The Living Root Bridges: Nature’s Architecture
Sohra is one of the few places in the world where bridges grow instead of being built.
Visit Nongriat for the famous Double-Decker Living Root Bridge, a surreal marvel shaped by the Khasi tribe over generations.
- Trekking to these bridges takes effort—but every step through the lush forest is rewarding.
- Along the way, meet villagers who have lived in harmony with the forest for centuries.
- These bridges are more than structures—they're living ecosystems.
☁️ Misty Views & Eco Stay Vibes
Wake up to clouds drifting through your window, and end your day with local Khasi food by a fire. Sohra offers:
- Eco-resorts and homestays with stunning views.
- Quiet nature walks and cave explorations (try Mawsmai Cave).
- Local markets where you can pick up bamboo handicrafts and wild honey.
