How To Reach Sohra

Mawsynram, Meghalaya, India
Exploring Sohra town itself is an experience in understanding the resilience of a community that lives in one of the wettest places on Earth. The town is divided into several localities, each with its own character. Lower Sohra is bustling with markets, while Upper Sohra (locally called Saitsohpen) is quieter and holds many historical landmarks. Walking through the town, you will see houses with tin roofs weighted down by heavy stones to prevent them from flying away during the fierce monsoon winds. The local culture is deeply tied to the land; you will notice small kitchen gardens everywhere. The town is also a great place to experience Khasi hospitality. Small "dhabas" or tea shops serve red tea (Sha Saw) and snacks like "Pukhlein" (fried rice flour sweets). There are several old cemeteries and monuments that date back to the 1800s, reflecting the era when the British East India Company established a station here. The town serves as a base for all surrounding attractions, but its own charm lies in its misty mornings, the sound of church bells, and the sight of locals carrying "Khoh" (conical bamboo baskets) on their backs. It is a place where time slows down, and the rhythm of life is dictated by the rain.
