Welcome to Sohra aka Cherrapunji !!!
The locals traditionally call it Sohra, however, the world knows it by the more popular name of “Cherrapunjee” or "Cherrapunji". Once the wettest place on earth, Cherrapunjee today is the second rainiest place on earth after Mawsynram. Cherrapunjee receives close to
a whopping 12 m of rain every year.
Though the status of the most rainiest
place on earth has changed from Cherrapunji to Mawsynram (about 16km from Cherrapunji), Cherrapunjee still reigns supreme in terms of tourist attraction
and infrastructure compared to Mawsynram.
Cherrapunji attracts lot of tourists because of its abundant natural beauty, innumerable
valleys and waterfalls, caves and canyons, evergreen misty landscapes and Cherrapunji rainfall. |
Tucked away in North East India, Cherrapunjee is located around 60 km from Shillong in the East Khasi district of Meghalaya. The Umshiang double decker Living Root bridge at Nongriat and many other living root bridges are found in Cherrapunji (Sohra) and Mawlynnong. | |
