How To Reach Myntdu River

Jowai, Meghalaya, India
The Myntdu River is the lifeline of the Jaintia Hills, locally and affectionately known as 'Ka Tawiar Ka Takan' (Our Guardian Angel) in the local Pnar dialect. Originating at Mihmyntdu village adjacent to Jowai, it almost completely encircles the town, blessing the valley with abundant water used f or irrigation and daily life. The river flows across the Jaintia Hills through deep gorges, creating beautiful waterfalls like Tyrshi Falls, before eventually entering Bangladesh where it is known as the Shari River. The river valley, especially the area around Syntu Ksiar, is a scenic haven of lush green paddy fields and forests. It is central to the socio-cultural fabric of the Pnar people and is considered a holy river.:
