It is a scenic paradise close to nature. &nbsp;Rain is very unpredictable here.&nbsp; &nbsp;Once you step out from your room in the morning warm weather with a ray of pleasant sunshine greet you, however soon it changes to gloomy and rain started pouring. Most of the time mist covered the land like a white blanket, which is&nbsp;a heavenly experience for&nbsp;the spectator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cherrapunji is dotted with many places to visit like waterfalls, natural caves and&nbsp;living root bridges which are difficult to cover in a single day, so plan according to your interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of our favourite places to visit in Cherrapunji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Maswami cave:<\/strong>&nbsp;Let this be the first thing&nbsp;to see in the area. This is the shortest and most well-maintained caves in Meghalaya centrally located near the city centre.&nbsp; Some top street food joints are also available here which serve delicious Maggi, Momo, Egg, Tea etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seven sisters fall<\/strong>: Before reaching the Maswami cave you can see the wonderful seven sister fall or <strong>Mawsmai falls<\/strong>&nbsp;from one side of the road. You can stop here for a family photo taking the amazing falls in the backdrop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Thangkharang Park:<\/strong> It is one of the most wonderful and well-maintained parks of Cherrapunji. You can catch a glimpse of <strong>Khoh Ramhah rock<\/strong> and plain of Bangladesh from this park. One of the tallest falls in Cherrapunji, <strong>Kynrem falls<\/strong> can be seen from the park.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eco Park:<\/strong> This is one of the scenic park located in the centre of Cherrapunji. &nbsp;You can stroll around the park and amused by the pleasant weather and scenery of the park. Different rides for children\u2019s are also available in one the corner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Awrah Cave: <\/strong>It is a wonderful cave where you can see some prehistoric fossil on its wall.&nbsp; A pleasant walkway leads to the cave, taking 30 minutes to cover. The stunning walkway passes through an enchanting forest of amazing surrounding which offers thrilling and fulfilling experience. &nbsp; This a huge network of caves only a portion of it is open to the public.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dainthlen falls:<\/strong> This is one of the biggest falls in Cherrapunji which is formed by a hilly river flowing down from the top of a cliff. Rainy season is the best time to spot Dainthlen falls which become magnificent with a large volume of water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wei Sawdong&nbsp;falls<\/strong>: It is the most beautiful 3 tire falls located around 30 minutes walking distance from Dainthalen falls. You have to walk down by following a rough jungle trail of bamboo made stairs and stones. It\u2019s better to go for this trek if you are physically fit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nohkalikai Falls: <\/strong>This one of the tallest waterfalls in entire India plunged down from a height of &nbsp;1115 feet. Your trip is not complete if you did not take some amazing photos of this fall. You can also get down to the base of the fall from where a trekking route start. &nbsp;But don\u2019t try it along without a local guide.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Double Decker living root

Except for basic homestays, no other options are available to stay in both places. In Dawki you can stay in a camp near the river bank or opt to stay in a homestay. In Mawlynnong village&nbsp;Hala tong Homestay, Hala Tyngkong Homestay and steam side guest house are few best homestays<em>. <\/em>We stayed in the <strong>Steam side guest house<\/strong> in Mawlynnong to experience the rural lifestyle of Meghalaya. &nbsp;&nbsp;It is one of the best homestays which offers all the basic amenities and decent food. It is located in a convenient location near the main road that leads to Mawlynnong village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Day 5: Drive to Jowai<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mark the end of your road trip by heading to stunning hamlet <a href=\"https:\/\/nexplore.org\/destinations\/Meghalaya\/jowai.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jowai<\/a> on the last day which is just a few kilometres away from Dawki.&nbsp;Jowai offers you different beauty altogether. &nbsp;The scenic Jayantia hills, green valley formed by the <em>Mrtendu river and <\/em>amazing paddy fields all melt to make a perfect frame. The pleasing drive through <strong>Shillong- Jowai highway<\/strong> should be the best drive in your Meghalaya trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following are the best point to visit in Jowai in your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ilong Park:<\/strong> Located on the outskirts of Jowai, this a gorgeous place which offer a great view of the valley and the hills.&nbsp; This is a favourite place for angling and strolling around the park and breath fresh air.&nbsp; Travellers nests are also available in the park for night stay.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nartiang Monoliths:<\/strong>&nbsp;This is a prehistoric&nbsp;monoliths park filled with different size&nbsp;monoliths. It was erected in A.D. 1500, by U Mar Phalyngki, a deputy to the Jaintia king. Many legends are associated with this place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Krang Suri Waterfalls:<\/strong> It is one of the most discussed waterfalls in Meghalaya which looks heavenly during monsoon. The giant fall plugging down from the top to a turquoise colour natural pool is one of the best instograamable photos of Meghalaya.&nbsp; You need to walk down for around 20 minutes to reach the pool driven by the falls. A cave is also formed in the back of the fall. Which is particular to this falls only. Though it\u2019s a bit tricky to approach the base of it, however, the thrill and excitement it offers from close were unimaginable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tyrshi Falls:<\/strong> Located 5 km from the main highway, it\u2019s a wonderful waterfall sited before reaching Jowai town. One needs to walk downhill to reach the fall. The valley below looks enchanting from the viewpoint of Tyrshi Falls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Thadlaskein Lake: <\/strong>It is a stunning artificial lake on the way Jowai. Stop over in this lake and feel some fresh air and stroll around the lake to freshen up after a full day of adventure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wahkhen village<\/strong>: If you are looking for more hardcore adventure and trekking then you must visit Wahkhen village on the next day.
