About the Cherrapunji–Mawsynram route
Cherrapunji and Mawsynram are neighbours in record books — both lay claim to being the rainiest place on Earth — and sit about 55 km apart along a winding Khasi Hills ridge. The drive takes 2 to 2.5 hours because the road is slow, but the cloud-draped scenery is the point.
At Mawsynram, the Mawjymbuin Cave with its natural Shivling-shaped stalagmite is the main draw. A private cab is the practical way to link the two, since public transport on this stretch is sparse.
Choose a sedan for couples or an SUV / Innova for families — fares below are one-way for the Cherrapunji to Mawsynram leg.
