Must-Visit Places During Your Cherrapunji Tour
???? Garden of Caves
A hidden gem in Cherrapunji, the Garden of Caves is a mesmerizing natural habitat formed by rain-fed waterfalls and lush greenery. Declared a tourist spot in 2010, it remains relatively unexplored, making it a perfect retreat for nature lovers. Historically, these caves served as hiding places for the Khasi people during British rule. Enclosed by dense forests, the garden transforms into a breathtaking spectacle when sunlight filters through the foliage. At the entrance, bamboo bridges welcome visitors, offering stunning views of cascading waterfalls—best witnessed in full flow during August and September.
???? Arwah Cave
Nestled in the dense Law Shanna Forest, the Arwah Cave (also known as Arwah Lumshynna Cave) is a massive limestone cave known for its ancient fossil formations, stalactites, and stalagmites. Larger than the famous Mawsmai Caves, only a section of Arwah Cave is accessible to visitors. Exploring this cave is an adventurous experience, featuring narrow passages, dark chambers, and even areas where crawling is required! Ideal for thrill-seekers, this cave offers a glimpse into Meghalaya’s geological wonders.
???? Seven Sister Falls
Also known as Nohsngithiang Falls, the Seven Sister Falls is a breathtaking seven-segmented waterfall cascading down a rugged cliff. Towering at 1,033 feet with a 70-meter-wide spread, it is one of the tallest waterfalls in India. True to its name, the waterfall consists of seven streams flowing side by side, creating a spectacular sight. The best time to visit is during the monsoon season, when the water volume increases, making the falls even more magnificent.
???? Mawkdok Dympep Valley
Also called the Duwan Sing Syiem Bridge Viewpoint, the Mawkdok Dympep Valley offers an awe-inspiring panoramic view of Meghalaya’s lush green landscapes. With its V-shaped valley and mist-covered surroundings, it provides a picture-perfect setting. Built by the Forest Department, this viewpoint allows travelers to soak in the scenic beauty from a bird’s-eye perspective. To fully experience its charm, visitors must descend several steps leading to the viewpoint—an effort well rewarded by the breathtaking scenery.
