Hope you enjoyed the video, we absolutely loved travelling here! This was filmed back in March during the dry season. Leave us a comment below if you enjoyed it! 😊
The root bridge at SIEJ village was constructed by a resident of the village Mr. Halley War. It was documented in the BBC series RIVERS: HOW THEY MADE US.
Will n maddie don't call cherapunji because the original name is call SOHRA. Only the main land people they name cherapunji
Khasi people speak english more than Hindi ... they're just shy...and they won't ask for pics with any tourist unless extreme cases
Those are not locals..they are also tourist..the locals knows very well English as the official language of Meghalaya state is English
That's false information. I do not understand why we feel so privileged to say that we speak english very well and in this case you're claiming english to be the official language and it is very disheartening. We should be proud of our culture, it is absolutely okay if you speak or don't speak english, what matters is our manner and ethics.
@@Riwankiwahlang Check everywhere every books every website you'll see that English is the official language...Khasi is our principal language...
and what is your amount, interest language oe simple or compound 💨@@zelda2012333
@@Riwankiwahlang dnt get it wrong he just was sharing a fact on his state Meghalaya
not true
The drinking water in the garden of caves is really good. It reduces digestion problems and has natural minerals.
I had diarrhea drinking from that water
@@rumplestilskin223how do u have diarrhea drinking water?? What kind of weak axx digestive system u got??
NorthEast is one of my favouritr tourit destinations. Hope you have agood time there. Love from Kolkata, India
As a north easterner I can confirm that Most of the north eastern people does not clickin picture with tourist and a north easterner not talking to you in Hindi if you start the convo in English...As I came across many videos I saw those people mostly are from outside north east.
Yes we were getting photos with other Indian tourists :) Thanks for watching!
@@willandmaddiewe northeastern people majority don't click pictures with tourist like mainland indian people's also we look different but meghalaya people's look southeast and here people from my area arunachal pradesh look east asian like chinese korean
Chill why being so insecure their is no such thing as mainland entire india is mainland india. @@peacegamer3779
The fall is named Noh-ka-likai falls because of a folktale in which a woman named Likai jumped into it(the falls) after she ate food without knowing that what she ate was actually her daughter which had been cut into pieces and cooked by her husband.
You're very smart 👍👍
Damn. That's intense
There are 1,580 Caves have been identified so far in Meghalaya State of India, of which 980 caves have explored so far, hence Meghalaya is also known as "Land of Caves". Krem Liat Prah Cave in Meghalaya State is the longest cave in India. Krem Chympe, Wari Chora and Krang Suri are three beautiful Cave Waterfalls in Meghalaya State. Mawsynram near Cherrapunji is the wettest place on earth. Laitlum Canyon at Smit Town in Meghalaya State is lesser explored paradise. Mawphanlur Lake, Nongkhnum river island and Wah Rilang Green Desert are some breathtaking bucket list destinations in Meghalaya State of India. So there is there so much explore in Meghalaya State, hence incase if yours time permits do visit these places. India is very diverse in terms of geographical topography, vegetations and seasons. From Snow Capped Mountains, Rocky Hills, Lush Green table Mountains to Plateau and from Lakes, Waterfalls, Lagoons to Sandy Clay, Red and Salt White Deserts to Caves, Canyon, Gorges to Beaches, Coral and River Islands, everything exist in this vast country. Wonderful Vlog. Keep Exploring India. Take Care😊
Why I'm watching this video because you're showing hidden gems of India. Otherwise most of the foreigners show crowded cities of India. It seems going to northeastern India is worth it.
Would like to watch more videos.
Thanks for visiting and showing this beautiful place. 😍
Thanks for watching!
Nicely done. Gr8 video. As an Indian, I had no clue of such hidden treasures here, shame on me. You guys are blessed, Thank you.
Keep growing maghalaya❤❤❤
Umkar is one of the best root bridges that not many visit. By the way Dawki is a border town not a river.
The root bridges take about 40-50 years to be built. A father starts one for the use of his son & grandchildren. Also the bridges are used even now after concrete since these are flexible structures which is important when the gush of water falling down in such velocity will just wash away everything concrete in its path.
By the way you should visit Meghalaya again as you had missed out quite a number of places
Also there is a festival call hornbill festival , in Nagaland, india , this festival started in December 1.. you should must visit....
We haven’t heard of this festival, thanks for sharing!
You should explore more beautiful places in Meghalaya
Best to visit Meghalata in Monsoon time.
The best journey is the compass less pointed. I made that up but maybe it's a thing. Looks amazing.
I'm guessing both, for the reason for your fame and photos 😂❤
We think it's both too 😂
You guys visit meghalaya in wrong season believe in moonsoon meghalaya feels like another planet , the whole region filled with infinity waterfalls and canyons, jungles
Aree bhai ye Monsoon season hi chal rha h.......
Meghalya me alag se Monsoon aata h kya
@@Nature__Worshiper_06 nah brother ye log summer mein gaya tha vedios abhi chod raha hai inke bki vedis dekho samjh aa jayega or meghlaya moonsoon mei kabhi yesa dikh hi nehi sakta mein khud gaya hoon belive me, it was a heaven full of foggy mountains and waterfalls
Khasi people are very shy those who took pictures with you are from the mainland 😂😂
clearly mentioned the video was shot way back in the month of march 2024 so that would still be spring in shillong or say summer pre-monsoon season
Miss Kerala 🌴💛
Kerala is on our list!
Thank you for visiting our Meghalaya 🙏🙏🙏
Love from Assam ❤
Welcome to Meghalaya Khasi Land.
Thank you!
New subscriber here...Love from northeast, India
You guys are doing great ! North East is mostly unexplored part of India and not very hectic compared to other parts. Just a suggestion stop using the generic indian background music, your videos will stand out from the rest of international tourist 👍
Rhne de bhai himachal uttrakhand ki maa bhen ek ho gyi hai udhar area to shi hai abhi tk
Thanks for the suggestion, we’ll keep it in mind for the next videos. Thanks for watching!
So glad to see you guys avoid the overrated mainstream places and enjoy India peacefully.

peace out guys✌
Thanks for the kind words! We didn't quite make it to Tripura on this trip but maybe in the future. Thanks for watching :)
Its better to visit during moonsoon
We can see how this place would come alive during the monsoon season, so many waterfalls!
That water is best. Because it is naturally filtered by the rocks, mud and sand of the mountain
Thanks visiting northeast part of india.. .
India is hussle bussle please do except it and move on you will fine differents in every 50km ahead that is the culture of india..
my hometown shillong 🥰
A beautiful place!
Nohkalikai Falls has a story behind it. That's deeply sad.
So much history we weren't aware of - Thanks for sharing!
Bro next visit Manali and Shimla darjiling so beautiful 🇮🇳🇮🇳🕉️🕉️
Khasi is now in goigle translator 🎀

Interesting! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thank you for collecting the trash left there ❤
Really enjoying your videos 👏👏👌👍😋
Thank you!!

Keep going
I stumbled upon your videos by accident. Had something to do with Momos. You guys have beautiful content, attitude and humility. You will go a long ways. Love from Canada.
Thanks so much! Those words mean alot. Appreciating the support from all over the world :)
I look forward to more interesting and inspirational videos. I am Canadian Of Indian origin so these videos do resonate with me. We have a lot of Aussies and Kiwis here in Vancouver. I wish you two the best and good positive things in life.
Please visit kailasa temple in Maharashtra
Thanks for the suggestion!
@@willandmaddie 🙏
This is the India most of the foreigners miss. Delhi, Mumbai and Jaipur is not entire India. People should explore more before sterotyping.
Such a beautiful part of the country!
Please do come to Kohima Nagaland Northeast India ❤
Where is Nagaland
@@rumplestilskin223 northeast India next to Assam
So much of India to see, we would love to visit Nagaland too!
@@willandmaddie thank you 😊 you are most welcome 🤗🤗
You should fly to Andaman and Nicobar islands territory for unspoilt nature in Indian Ocean.
Nice
❤❤
I guess you guys have been recording months bck when there was no monsoon
Yes this was from March! We can only imagine what the waterfalls and rivers would be like now!
Bro put indian 🇮🇳 flag on thumbnail and in tital also you'll get more views 😊 welcome to India
They are existed to see another race of people.
Don't use sitar and tabla music in Meghalaya. You can use Jingeidd uff ka Jingeidd song in background. The official language of Meghalaya is Khasi. Also try Khasi grilled pork and Jadoh.
During Covid pandemic I discovered the music of Mizoram. I watched videos in Zorimawi and MDM channel and fell in love with their music. Mizoram music is like 1970s USA music.
My top 10 Mizo songs are the following:
1) Kimkima: I zun ngaih lunglen (2019), I made my dad hear Kimkima and he told me that he was like Lobo.
2) K Hminga and Sangtei Khuptong: Awm lo Tala (2020). K Hminga is like Mark Knopfler.
3) Cassettes: E Khai (2021), this song is like Elmore James or John Lee Hooker song.
4) Zaii Hauchhum and Vanlalhmaingha: Hmaingaihte Hmangaihna (2022), this sounded like Bonnie Raitt and BB King.
5) Saiwanah and Mary Dawngi: Ka Pa Khuma (2023), my favorite song from 2023. It sounded like Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham song Chain
6) The Radio: Hellai Lungrun (2024), this song is like Lyin' Eyes by Eagles.
7) Mami Varte: Damlai Par (2007)
8) C Sanga: Tawmang Lasi (2007)
9) Elizabeth Zodinpuii: Valmawi (2005)
10) Michelle Varte: Nachhawkna (2022), this song was like Kylie Minogue of 1980s something like Put your hand on your heart.
We’ll give these songs a listen! Thanks for watching 🙂
Sorry this place called SOHRA not Cherapunji.
We put both names in the caption for this reason but called it Cherapunji as lot of the maps/street signs called it this. We try to use the correct name where we can. Thanks for watching!
omg
Amazing right?!
Sohra original name
Yup! We included both in the caption 🙂
d culture is solely of Our North-East..nt of outsiders
Welcome to India all guys so many indian culture 🕉️🕉️🇮🇳🇮🇳
In Meghalaya there are 1580 caves,100 approximately living root bridges,many waterfalls...
We saw alot of potential waterfalls, so can only imagine how alive it becomes!
It is not cherapunji it is real name "Sohra"
We put both names in the caption for this reason but called it Cherapunji as lot of the maps/street signs called it this. We try to use the correct name where we can. Thanks for watching!
Will n maddie don't call cherapunji because the original name is call SOHRA. Only the main land people they name cherapunji

They are not local
Those are khasi
If you were referring to the caption that popped, up that was a mistake and was a subtitle for a clip that didn't make it into the final cut. Thanks for watching!
Why do u have less subscribers?
The official language of Meghalaya is English , along with khasi and Garo . Hardly a small percentage speaks hindi . Meghalaya is dominated by two tribes Khasis and Garo .khasi belongs to the Monkhmer race from SEAsia and Garo are Tibeto Burman origin . Also Meghalaya is the only Matrillineal state in India .
Thanks for the info!
need youtube thumbnails designer or video editor at cheap rates?

You are wrong brother. Locals speaks better english than hindi because the second language here in the State is english.
That may be the case, we can only comment on what we experienced :) Thanks for watching!
The stereotypical Indian music makes it unwatchable. Good luck 🤞
Guys don't called cherrapunjee it's Sohra the actual name. Your intro music sound so Indian which we don't even listen in this part of India. We have are our own music and sound
Ok man nobody cares
Alot of diversity in India for sure, especially in the music! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
If u didn't visit Kohima Nagaland you didn't saw anything in northeast
Do they still eat humans there?
There's so much to see!
@@rumplestilskin223 please don't say rubbish if you don't know anything 🙏
Such a boring place to visit. Waste of money and time.
Have you been? This was one of our favourites - absolutely worth it!
You like artificial world I guess😅
You are from slumpopulated 😅😂
