Cherrapunjee is one of the most popular tourist spots in North East of India. It lies to the south of the capital Shillong.
The town is very well known and needs little publicity. A rather
scenic, 50 kilometre long road, connects Cherrapunjee with Shillong.
The

Weinia falls, Bishop Falls, Nohkalikai Falls, Langshiang Falls
