Garden of caves

Top Attractions around laitmawsiang

The Garden of Caves is located in the quiet and peaceful village of Sohra. The place is typically situated around 10 km away from the Laitryngew region and quite close to the Laitmawsiang village. The whole North-eastern state of Meghalaya is filled with innumerable cascades and caves. Garden of Caves was broadly used by the Khasi tribes for hiding from the British during the days of their colonial rule. As the whole area is surrounded by virgin forests, it became easier for them to hide amidst the deep jungle and entwining creepers. Even though it often feels by the name that this place is filled with caves, actually it is a garden flooded with countless sources of natural beauty along with caverns. If you are a huge fan of cascades, you can easily walk near the stunning waterfalls falling over the rocks and enjoy the soft drizzles of it. Or else, one can also stand upon the bamboo bridges and admire the beauty of the place. The Garden of Caves can be visited at any time of the year. However, the monsoon starts here from around mid-June and continues till September and the heavy rainfall boosts up the grandeur of the ponds, waterfalls and green mountains immensely. That is why visiting in the months of August or September will be the best decision as you will be able to witness the forest and the waterfalls in their best spirit.
