Laitlum Canyons

Laitlum Canyon, 25 km from Shillong, is Meghalaya's most dramatic natural viewpoint — a breathtaking gorge on the edge of the Khasi Plateau plunging into the mist-filled valleys of the Meghalayan hills. Known as the "End of Hills" in Khasi, the canyon offers sweeping views of layered green hills disappearing into cloud. One of Northeast India's top photography destinations, especially atmospheric in the monsoon when waterfalls cascade down every hillside. A top Shillong day trip.
