Eco Park
Eco Park in Sohra is a beautifully maintained plateau-top park designed by the Meghalaya government to provide tourists with a safe and panoramic vantage point of the region's famous canyons. The park is situated right at the edge of the cliffs that separate India from the plains of Bangladesh. On a clear day, you can see the vast, shimmering water-logged plains of the Sylhet district across the border. One of the most unique features of this park is that it houses the starting point of the Seven Sisters Falls (Nohsngithiang Falls). You can actually walk to the spot where the water begins its massive 1,000-foot plunge into the valley below. Inside the park, there is a "Green House" that showcases a variety of indigenous orchids and tropical plants. A small stream meanders through the park, crossed by charming footbridges, leading to various viewpoints. It is a family-friendly spot where children can play in the open spaces while adults soak in the views of the "Green Canyons." The park is often enveloped in thick fog, which adds a mystical quality to the experience, making the trees and flowers appear and disappear as the wind shifts. It is an ideal spot for those who want to see the beauty of the cliffs without the strenuous trekking required elsewhere.
