Before I explored the states of Assam and Meghalaya in northeast India, I had heard that it was different from other parts of India in terms of food and culture. But nothing prepared me for how magical this area of the country is. It’s truly a hidden gem. Come along with me and let’s explore Assam and Meghalaya together!
After an incredible first day in Shillong, Meghalaya, my friend Paul and I headed out on a day trip to Cherrapunjee, a town that is often credited as the wettest place on Earth! I couldn’t wait to hit the road, eat, see some attractions, and explore Cherrapunjee. Let’s go!
On our ride, we stopped to get some awesome views of Shillong before continuing on to the village of Mylliem to get some breakfast!
We stopped at the tiny R. Kharbangar Tea Stall. There, we got 3 dishes including small flatbreads called pitha, chicken curry, pork intestines with liver, and dohklieh, which is pork salad with potatoes, ginger, and onions.
I started with the pork intestines with liver, which had such an incredible mix of flavors. The sauce was mixed with sesame seeds and was out of this world. The intestines were soft and chewy, while the liver was dense. It was like a pork salad!
Next, I took small pieces of the pitha (which is made of steamed rice dough) and tried them with everything. They were quite dense, a lot like a Venezuelan arepa. I loved it!
Next was the dohklieh, which reminded me of ceviche. Then I went with the chicken and pitha, which had absorbed all the gravy on the plate. It was outstanding!
I finished with some tea, which was very minty like the ones I’d had in Morocco and Jordan. Then I rinsed my hands and we left. Our entire meal only cost 160 rupees/roughly $2.28 U.S.
From there, we got back on the road and headed south to Mawkdok. On the way, we saw lots of little houses as we traveled down the winding roads. It didn’t feel like India at all!
Mawkdok was gorgeous! It’s a huge, picturesque canyon. Before we got some food, we stopped at a small shop where I bought a traditional Khasi scarf for only 180 rupees/$2.57.
I was still hungry, so we got some prawn maggi at a nearby restaurant. It’s made with instant noodles, but they’re made the regular way. We had our choice of two sauces: a spicy one and a sweet, tomato-based one that was like an organic ketchup.
The spices in the maggi was really nice and I loved the crunch. They were the best instant noodles I’d ever had! It was so unique and I loved the sauces with it! Best of all, it was super filling! Our entire meal cost about 360 rupees/$5.14.
Then we were off to Cherrapunjee! The road was extremely winding and stopped to climb some stairs along the road to get to an amazing viewpoint where we could see the surrounding valley. It was stunning! I raced Paul to the top and then needed a breather when I got there!
Then we continued toward Cherrapunjee. We passed through the town of Laitryngew, which is where the first missionaries who came to India arrived and started a school. It looks almost like Africa here. It was dry at the moment, but monsoon season was on the way.
As we continued toward the town, we saw an amazing, rocky landscape that was pockmarked with little holes and pools. Then we went to see the Wei-Saw-Dong Waterfall. You have to be careful as you walk down the steep, rocky, path and follow a trail to get to them. There’s also a lot of litter here. Please don’t litter!
The waterfalls were so worth the trek it takes to get there. We saw them from afar first and headed down another treacherous path to see them up close. The falls are gorgeous. I’ve never seen a waterfall like this with three pools and drop-offs!
Then we visited Dain-Thlen Falls, which reminded me of something out of Jurassic Park! The views of the canyon were breathtaking. I also laid down near the edge and just breathed. But now it was time to get to Cherrapunjee!
I hope you enjoyed coming with us on our trip from Shillong to Cherrapunjee! If you did, please give it a thumbs up and leave me a comment. Also, please subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food content!

Are you planning to come up to Aizawl,Mizoram
You should visit Manipur too
Hi David, greetings from Orlando. :) Where are you planning to go next? BTW, I came across your channel yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed watching your videos. (till 3am!! LOL) Excellent content, considering there is so much diversity and so much to see and experience in India. Since you had mentioned in one of your videos, that part of your family was Jewish, I was wondering if you may be able to sample some traditional Jewish food in India. Apart from the big cities of Mumbai, Kolkata and Kochi, there are some Jewish folks in the North East as well, (like in the Churachandpur district in Manipur).
I am assuming that at some point you will get to sample some Parsi (Persian influence), Goan (Portuguese/Latin influence), Pondicherry (French and Vietnamese influence), Kerela/Mappila (Arab influence) food as well, to mention only a few. :) Did anyone correct/mention to you that mutton in India is supposed to be goat and not a full grown sheep? Enjoy your stay/the food in India and thank you for sharing your experiences. :)
Try Laitlyngkot's famous dohsnam.
David wish i have met you in shillong i would love to tag along to tell you stories about places. Especially my home village, dainthlen
Can we all give a shout out to Paul for being a great guide.. making us proud
@@neharamekar7 he says it because it is true, nd India is a land of diversity, nd unity does not means ignoring ur differences in culture, it means accepting that we hv different culture nd be ok with it, to respect a culture, u have to accept that it's different, not ignore it by saying we r the same
Yes
fireflies n starryskies it is true. we are different. Our culture is different from other Indians like there's a drastic difference... also our way of thought from mainstream Indians is different..
but we accept each other the way we are
@@neharamekar7 point out our similarities other than our citizenship. There is not much.
I agree.. He made David taste exotic food
Example of how a good, knowledgable guide can change the very nature of a vlog. Good job Paul. 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏼
Yes Paul the best guide. He puts the human element into his work. So warm, gentle and unpretentious. But when required, he will chase any lawbreaker. In one of David's other Shillong videos he gives chase to a driver who caused an accident. A real hero
thanks ;) 😁
@@krisnendupaul6151 😂😂😂👍
Voted for Mr Paul this election.... Samaritan from Shillong.
@@TravelwithPaul OMG the host is here 🙆man u did an awesome job hosting David..I really love ur personality..keep up the good work✌
What a fantastic job by the host, knowledge, timing and details personified, his taste in picking and making the right choice to stop and eat at the right place is amazing, his knowledge on local food and information of the place is awesome, this is what a host needs to be like. Awesome job Paul!!!
Meghalaya is a beautiful place... My grandfather used to be a pastor in Shillong Mizo church in the 60's... He studied theology in Cherrapunji... Love from Mizoram

He is thorough gentleman.
Even us Indians need a guide like him
Man paul is not good man he doesnt show him him the culture the traditional dress and the tradishion religion of khasi and jaintia he cares only about christian khasi and all about shillong... Shillong is the smallest city in all over india man no shopping mall at all. Kfc also only two there are no pizza hut no mac donalds at all.... But meghlaya is beautiful if paul show him the real meghalaya..and by the way im from meghalaya but not garo...
@@wandamedkhar131 it's not an easy jop to do bro.. N Manage all things for the tour.. There will something missing in his guide to him.. Like may be he is forget to show him some fact of meghalaya.. But at least he has done a good jop for him.. Ok will hope nxt time he will do better for with other tourst. N nobody is perfect there will always something a kind of mistakes will happn.
That dog 🐶 is so friendly...
Cute dog.
hot dog🐖🐖

Yep ..it's cute
Plot twist they eat dogs
A single knowledgeable guide helped highlighting Shillong on TH-cam through David, of course!!! Seriously enjoyed the series!!!
Hats off to Paul for taking David to all the right places!!
Our khasi people and traditions are our proud... I love my India.. It's so diverse that I wonder how a country could be so unique... Well that's my India and all my indian fellows..
This is the face of northeastern...kindness,loyal,no chutiyapa....no scammers...no racist..no rapist....even junglee but more civilised...house are small..people are not so reach but at the same time not so poor so there is no beggars....small population...peacefull..beautifull...amazing....lots of culture....boundary share with china,bangladesh,mayanmar,bhutan,nepal....mountains...fresh rivers...lots of animals.....etccccc
No one is junglee in NE. Stop spreading the stereotype. Hill tribes does not mean jungli
Sai bolaere
Megu ayanyang kuyang 😍😍😍😍
They do call us junglee not sure who's the real junglee
No chutiyapa 😂 btw I'm tribal too but its not a jungle anymore like 100 years ago...they're very civilised now

One subscribe= Blesss meghalaya FOREVER😍😍😍😁
Hallelujah..... Praise d lord
True.
Please do not litter..
Throw garbage at their respective places.
Nature is true beauty.
David has been polluting every single Indian city he has been going to. Consider he blogs on street food regularly, if he were responsible by now he would be carrying his own bowl and cutlery. But looks like he just wants to pig out and pollute India.

Meghalaya is actually cleaner than assam.

@Hdx there are other places in Assam as well which are clean like digboi, Duliajan, etc . Visit upper Assam
I love Paul's enthusiasm! You're fortunate to have him showing you around and taking you to great places to eat. Good times.
Khasi people are awesome and cool. They are humble and gentle
Yeah

@@Ladybeater234 educate yourself with the right spelling
Mesmerizing Meghalaya!!! It's good to see a humble, knowledgeable guide like Paul helping David to explore Meghalaya. Been there twice in Sohra but not yet visited Wei Sawdong waterfalls. Hope to visit next time and many more unexplored places.
Living for these vlogs! 😍 Also, your tour guide is super kind and cute.
David I have been watching and following every video of yours recently here in India and out of all these videos and your tour guides Paul has been simply outstanding and an incredible guide. Hats off!!
Meghalaya looks beautiful.....wish to visit in future....I am from Haryana

It's amazing that your mouth is now accustomed with different sorts of cuisines across the globe. Your host Paul is also an amazing person. You are a really lucky person to be experiencing the authentic incredible India.
Thank you actually for representing good content.
Really love these Meghalaya series😊
I'm sad that it is going to end
He is coming back to Assam hahahahhag.... But meghalaya is way more beautiful than Assam.... My greatings
@@TravelwithPaul it's been a long time🤣🤣.
great to see u travelling this side of India. Most foreigners don't even know that India has so many other diverse natural and cultural sides to offer than just north/north west and south India. And fyi those mufflers are not pure wool. They are mostly acrylic fabrics or micro wool. keep eating!!!
Shillong n Cherrapunji .... d first reflection of North East India .... A Lot to explore .... great vlog ... David n Paul
Grade A editing skills, DAVID! Pleasure to watch.
Shillong is pride of North east
That waterfall was mind-blowing. Also the limestone eaten away by water leaving beautiful patterns.
Awesome vlog man. Shillong is awesome. I came here after the Guwahati vlog.
Could clearly experience the difference in quality of the guides.
This guide is so cool and knowledgeable. 👌👍
😍 Omg love love, this vlog is awesome. I have no word is beautiful. The food 😋, the view wow incredible the water falls 😍, Paul super cool tour guy.This vlog is been my favorite from India. One day one day. Thanks for sharing

The most informative guide I've ever seen in any travel vlogs. Plus a sweet dude. Great video.
Love how Paul and David bond so cute over food... their conversation gives life!!!

Another great day another great vlog. Just love watching you and Paul travelling in Meghalaya. Keep it up.
Awesome breakfast david. Will have it next time I'm in Cherrapunji. Also, the waterfalls. Omg!
Thank you so much David. An Indian looking at NE India through the eyes of an American. U rock dude. This is one of ur best after Golden temple episode.
THIS WAS AWESOME - DAVID -- REALLY GOOD- APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORT
Another amazing video with an amazing guide....👌
I've been following your videos for a while now and I have to say this was the best video so far! Shout out to your good friend Paul, he has been a great guide!
If and when I visit Meghalaya I'd like to meet Paul and grab a traditional Khasi Lunch!
No mistakes bro... Right choice...
Noodle or rice, simple but filling. Meat, chicken or fish with sauce would do the job. 👍 There you go, strong enough to continue your journey filming. I'm enjoying it.
Wow!! Meghalaya is spectacular with its amazing mountains, valleys, waterfalls ( both) etc. If I had been there...I would have touched the water atleast. Enjoyed your video ...David 👍
These vlogs are so mesmerizing David....Loving watching the different cultures and foods..
I always happy to see every of your new vids! Keep inspiring David! Xo from Indonesia

Was a wonderful vlog yet again . Shout out to our guide paul.
Meghalaya Is Such A Divine Place ❣️❣️❣️ The Scenarios Are Just Breathtaking ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Ive liked these videos so much that ive already planned a trip to NE later this year 😊
Should have visited Mawsmai cave (spelling not sure) .. I am from Nagaland. And I visited Shillong last year September....and it's heaven 💓
Sooo true..... But peaple with bid arse get stuck in the opening entrance. ..... I has to stare at a arse of fat dude..... As he got stuck...
@@munmunhazarika5247 lmaooooo yes,it's definitely not for people with big body. The first task is the hardest when we have to climb up the wet rock inside the cave and the passage or the hole is kinda small and slippery. But I enjoyed.
@@munmunhazarika5247 😂😂😂
@@munmunhazarika5247 shit man I'm 85 kg brat
right spelling (Mawsmai cave)
He's so concerned about the nature. We love you David ❤
Thank you David for going too far through the tough routes to show us the Beautiful Epic Waterfall...
That was so much worth watch 😍😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
This video is refreshing with the beautiful places and the way the two of them give infos about everything
David, been watching many of your videos. You are so genuine and what strikes me is that you are so humble and down to earth with all the locals you interact with. I have never been to Meghalaya, but now will add this to my must do list. I would love to one day settle down there as I was educated in Kalimpong.
Mawsynram is the wettest place on earth followed by cherapunji. Both in annual rainfall and rainfall in a day
Yes
Yaa bro about 1300 cm rainfall annually
And in cherapunji about 1200 cm
I've watched all of your videos ever since you reached Shillong & I must say.. Wow you've been to more places than I have ever been to, even though I myself I'm Khasi.😂.. You've eaten at so many places that I've never eaten at & You seem to enjoy them a lot, thank q for your good compliments on our food 👏 Thank q for raising awareness on Littering our Mother nature 🙌👍 I appreciate it✌ & one more thing, you're very lucky u got a great guide 👏 & I hope you can visit more places before you leave..... 😊
Such a nice video. Meghalaya is really beautiful. And I like it how you wear the Assamese gamusa sometimes
I love Paul. Thanks for showing the real Meghalaya to David. More power to you.
