Timing changes everything in Cherrapunji (Sohra). February sits in the prime sightseeing month of the East India calendar, the kind of month that defines what you get from the trip more than any other variable, including the stay choice. We've architected Cherrapunji (Sohra) missions in every month; here is exactly what February delivers and how we work it.
The drier months from October to May are the best for visiting, when the plateau is clearer, the roads sound, and the waterfalls and root bridges accessible, the falls are still handsome even outside full monsoon. The monsoon from June to September brings truly extraordinary rain, among the heaviest on earth, and while the waterfalls thunder at their most powerful, cloud and downpour frequently wash out any view. For reliable sightseeing and the root-bridge trek, plan the October to May window.
