“Sohra, once famed as the wettest place on earth, is where rain sculpts cliffs, waterfalls leap from clouds, and mist tells stories of ancient hills.”

Sohra has stories hidden all over – in its rivers, cascades, and mist-shrouded hill-tops. It is also the place where civilizations met, the cultural capital of the Khasis and the gateway of the colonial age. The terrain comes alive during the monsoons while the drier months are all about blue skies and scenic hikes and treks. The region around Sohra is synonymous with waterfalls – the plunging Nohkalikai and the thunderous Dainthlen are settings for immortal Khasi folktales while the three-tiered Wei Saw Dong is tucked away in a verdant forest.

Well-connected by road, with frequent shared taxis and tourist vehicles from Shillong. The drive via Sohra Road is scenic and popular for its viewpoints along the way.
