The grassy moors surrounding Cherrapunjee justify Meghalaya’s over-played ‘Scotland of the East’ tourist-office soubriquet, although they’re dotted with monoliths and scarred by quarrying. The Nohkalikai Falls are particularly dramatic, especially in the monsoon when their capacity increases 20-fold. You can see them from the viewpoint located on a plateau at the end of a mountain ridge 4.4km from Sohra market. Local taxis (₹50) shuttle passengers to the viewpoint.
