Woke up early in the morning, prepared breakfast & lunch to carry with us as there are very few options of restaurants on the way to Cherrapunjee.
We left for Cherrapunjee at 8.00 AM from Shillong.
Cherrapunjee is about 60 km from Shillong . It is a small town located on the southern edge of Khasi Hills. Cherrapunjee is locally and now officially known as ‘SOHRA’. 98% of the annual rainfall at Cherrapunjee is received in just eight months from March to October. November, December, January and February get nominal or no rainfall. Rains during these months are mostly caused by cyclonic depressions in the Bay of Bengal.
It is credited as being the wettest place on Earth. However, nearby Mawsynram has more rainfall nowadays.

Today we planned to visit some places which were just at the heart of shillong so that by lunch we could come back home for lunch and then go out for shoppingin evening. The main Shopping areas in shillong are Bara Bazar & Police Bazar. From Tourist point of view I liked Police Bazar. Don’t forget to eat Jalebi from Delhi Mishthan Bandhar as they are really delicious.

We had been planning to visit Shillong & Cherrapunjee for the last one year, finally we decided to go in Dec.2009 but the program was preponed to September 2009 as just after the rain the greenery of the hills & the waterfalls were in their full swing.
