“I loved the fact how well they have maintained. All minute details they take care of. I had an awesome experience staying here. I was with a baby so I was extra cautious.

Seasons

Best time to visit.

The best time to visit the Khasi & Jaintia Hills is during the dry season, from October to April. The monsoon season (June to September) brings heavy rainfall (10,000mm+), which can make some attractions inaccessible and lead to power cuts. However, the landscape is exceptionally green during the monsoon.
