The biggest river island in Meghalaya and the second biggest
river island in Asia, Nongkhnum River Island is packed with nature's wonder.
The island has a beautiful waterfall and a sand beach that offers a lot of
different activities for the visitors ranging from basking in the sun, boating,
fishing, camping etc.
One of the major attractions of the island, the Weinia
waterfall lies on the Kynshi river and is formed by the river splitting into
two and pouring into a deep gorge. The Weinia Falls provides a distinctive
picture because of a double-arched bridge in the background.
Kyllang Rock is a massive dome-shaped rock of granite,
located about 2 hours away from Nongstoin near Mairang. Apart from the giant
monolith, the presence of rare white rhododendrons scattered across the
depressions and green oak trees also adds to the appearance.
The biggest visual attraction of Mawphanlur is the verdant
scenery. Picturesque high-altitude meadows here sprinkled with small lakes and
cottages will fill your heart with awe. The summit offers a magnificent view of
West Khasi Hills towards the east, Bangladesh towards the south and the great
Himalayas towards the north.
