Cherrapunjee: The Land of Living Root Bridges & Waterfalls

Cherrapunjee-The Land of Living Root Bridges and Waterfalls-Banner

One of India’s most beautiful sites is Cherrapunjee, also called Sohra. This central Meghalaya location has waterfalls which run throughout the year and circulation of clouds at the peak of the hills. This lovely town has been included in every Meghalaya tourism plan due to its calm splendor, rich cultural history, and natural wonders.

From foggy cliffs to the heart of deep forests, Cherrapunjee gives you an escape from the chaos and pollution of cities. If you are purchasing Meghalaya family tour packages or solo trips, this place is a must visit.

Why Cherrapunjee is Famous

Cherrapunjee is famous for heavy rains and was, at one point, considered to be the wettest place on the planet. Due to such heavy rainfall, the biosphere is rich and vibrant. This place holds root bridges, waterfalls, caves and even unique flora. It is only logical that a day or two here is included in most Meghalaya tourist packages.

Living Root Bridges – A Natural Marvel

Cherrapunjee - Living Root bridge-Meghalaya Tour Packages

One of the key attractions for visitors to book a Meghalaya trip package is to experience the live root bridges. These bridges are not built by humans.  The villagers direct the roots of rubber trees over rivers; over time, the roots become strong enough to create bridges.

The Double Decker Root Bridge in Nongriat is the most famous here.  Though it’s a main event in adventure-based Meghalaya group tour packages, getting there calls for a long hike.

Waterfalls That Will Take Your Breath Away

  • Seven Sisters Falls – Seven parallel streams down a massive rock face

  • Dainthlen Falls – Wide, scenic, and great for short walks

These are usually part of most tour packages for Meghalaya.
