The dining context
Cherrapunji (Sohra) sits within the East India, and its table reflects that, regional ingredients, technique, and heritage recipes specific to this place rather than a generic pan-Indian menu. We treat dining as part of the itinerary, not an afterthought: it is timed into the day and matched to the pace of the leg.
How we curate it
Curation means vetted kitchens, private or semi-private settings, escorted access to the genuine establishments, and dietary requirements (vegetarian, allergies, medical, religious) planned in advance, not navigated on the spot. The same standard runs across the wider East India circuit.

Good to know
Where to Eat questions
Is Cherrapunji the wettest place on earth?
It is among the very wettest inhabited places on earth and long held the record, but nearby Mawsynram is now generally cited as the wettest. Both sit on the same Meghalaya escarpment. The honest implication is that the monsoon here is extreme and can wash out sightseeing.
Do I need a permit for Cherrapunji?
No. Meghalaya, including Cherrapunji (Sohra), does not require an Inner Line Permit for Indian or foreign visitors. Some places ask tourists to register on arrival, which our team handles. Neighbouring Arunachal and Nagaland do require permits.
How hard is the trek to the double-decker root bridge?
It is genuinely demanding, a long, steep descent of thousands of stone steps to Nongriat and an equally hard climb back, usually taking several hours in all. It is deeply rewarding but not a casual stroll; we plan it only for guests who are reasonably fit and want it, with a local guide.
