Jaintia and Garo Hills

Jaintia Hills is the home of the Jaintia tribe and offers some of the most stunning natural sights in Meghalaya. The green surroundings, high plateaus, deep valleys, rambling rivers, and cascading waterfalls are feast for the eyes.

Nartiang in the Jaintia Hills is the site of a collection of giant Monoliths, some are among the tallest in the world. An ancient thatched Durga Temple was once used for human sacrifice.

Garo Hills is noted for the abundant wildlife, which attracts naturalists and photographers. There are two mountain ranges, the Arabella range and the Tura range, that pass through the Garo Hills providing an amazing landscape.
