Cherrapunji Tourism

Take the first step to getting there!

What makes Cherrapunji a must-visit destination?

Spread out along the razor sharp ridges of a gigantic mountain wall, Cherrapunjee sits neatly on the edge of the Himalayas towering the pancake low lying plains of Bangladesh. This alluring village was once regarded as the wettest place on the earth given the massive monsoon rainfall that it sees. Road leading from Shillong to this miniscule village passes through the magnificent scenery that become sensational at the Dympep viewpoint. Here you’ll come across a photogenic V shaped valley that deeply slits into the plateau.  

The lush green surroundings of Cherrapunjee very well justifies the Meghalaya’s over-used ‘Scotland of the East’ tag. Nohkalikai Falls here are particularly dramatic especially during the monsoon season when they are brimming with a quantity which is 20 times more than the original. These can be seen from the viewpoint that is located on a plateau that lies at the edge of the 4.4 km mountain ride from the Sohra market. You can hire a local taxi here that will shuttle you to the view point. More significant than this is the series of the ‘Grand Canyon’ gorges that are located around the region that further descends into the green chasms of the tropical forests.

Everything was perfectly planned and well organized. The driver assigned to us was excellent, very friendly, and knowledgeable, which made it easy for us to visit all the places we had planned. The trip organizer was also very supportive and regularly checked in with us to make sure everything was going well. Overall, it was a wonderful and memorable experience exploring Meghalaya with the help of the Thrillophilia team. Highly satisfied with the arrangements and service!

We recently returned from North east trip. It was designed in perfect way. I would appreciate the planning team especially Mr Sachin, he took care of each & everything. Since I was travelling with children so he curated the trip accordingly. My children were so happy to explore the abode of clouds- Cherrapunji, Dawki, & Shillong local market. Though we could not go to Mawllynnong due to Sunday but it was ok. We also like to express our gratitude for the driver assigned for the trip, Mr Hiren Deka. He was very polite & professional. Also, shared some knowledge about the local cuture which was really helpful. When we travel with kids, safety is the first thing that we look for and driver made us fell safe & secure throughout the trip. Accomodation were really good & spacious and last one near the local market which I found very convenient. Thank tou Team Thrillophilia for paying attention to every details and making the travel better. Thanks again & keep it up!

The trip was beautifully planned and we had a wonderful time. The local driver was very helpful, punctual and professional and took extra efforts to make our trip wonderful. A truly memorable holiday! Unfortunately, the Umngot River was not pristine as advertised, but this was due to the pollution caused by the ongoing major highway construction work on the Shillong-Dawki highway. Thank you very much for an amazing holiday!

The trip was well planned by the team. The local commute was well organised, the driver had good knowledge about the place and was polite. Accomodation places were very well maintained. With good connectivity and food. We had visited many hidden waterfalls thanks to our driver who made it point to inform and take us to beautiful hidden gems of meghalaya and local food delicacies. The double decker trecking was very good, it might be challenging for few ppl but try to take a extra mile to go to Blue Lagoon which is worth the treak and carry an extra pair of swimming costumes to take a dip at the extraordinary spots. Best time to travel: November starting to December.
