Things to do in Cherrapunji start with the south-facing edge: Nohkalikai, the Seven Sisters viewpoint when cloud allows, and a cave if you want an hour underground. Leafyinn would rather you pick three things than tick twelve in a fog.
The living root bridge day is the serious outing. Everything else can be a half-day from a Sohra homestay. That is why we push a night here instead of a rushed Shillong day trip.
Mawsynram is a neighbour, not a must. Dawki is a different road and a different season. We sequence these on a package so you are not zigzagging the plateau for a reel.
Rain is not a cancelled day. It is the reason the place has a name. Carry a real jacket, not a fashion one.
Common questions
Is one day enough in Cherrapunji?
For viewpoints, yes. For the double-decker trek, no — stay the night and start early.
What if it is cloudy?
Viewpoints fail; walks and caves still work. We keep a flexible cab day rather than a rigid photo list.
Sohra or Cherrapunji — which name to search?
Both. Homestays and signs use either. Same plateau town.
