Cherrapunji (Sohra)

Cherrapunji, locally known as Sohra, holds the record for the highest rainfall in a single calendar month and was long considered the wettest place on Earth. This extreme rainfall has sculpted the landscape into a dramatic world of gorges, valleys, and countless waterfalls — earning Cherrapunji the title 'Land of Waterfalls.'

A full-day Cherrapunji tour typically includes Nohkalikai Falls, Mawsmai Cave, Seven Sisters Falls (Nohsngithiang Falls), the Eco Park viewpoints overlooking Bangladesh, and the Living Root Bridges of Nongriat village. Each of these alone would justify a visit; together they make Cherrapunji one of India's greatest natural destinations.

The climate in Cherrapunji is dramatically different from the rest of India — cool, misty, and perpetually lush. Even in dry season, the landscape is vibrantly green. Walking through Cherrapunji feels like stepping into another world entirely — ancient, elemental, and profoundly beautiful.
