“Like a behemoth striking out of the placid, pine dotted landscape, Kyllang Rock is steeped in folklore. Enjoy a brisk climb to the top and get a bird's eye view of the Nongkhlaw region and beyond.”

Kyllang Rock is an impressive natural monolith – a giant grey dome that juts out of the pine forests of the West Khasi Hills. There is a path which you can climb along with rest stops and summer houses along the way. The view from the top of the rock is spectacular – from green woods and quaint villages to mesmerizing sunrises and sunsets if you time your hike accordingly. Lum Kyllang is a geological marvel – an imposing rock formation that is about a thousand feet wide at its most prominent girth. Another attraction here is the presence of rare white rhododendrons scattered across the depressions and bushes at the base of the dome. Old oaks and various native flora add to the natural diversity of the area.
