About Laitlum Canyons

Laitlum Canyons, meaning 'End of Hills,' is a spectacular and less-explored destination near Shillong. It offers breathtaking, panoramic views of deep gorges and vast, undulating hills covered in a blanket of green. The landscape is often shrouded in mist, creating a mystical and ethereal atmosphere. A steep stone stairway of over 3,000 steps descends into the canyon, leading to the remote village of Rasong. The sheer scale and beauty of the canyons make it a paradise for photographers, nature lovers, and those seeking solitude and stunning vistas.
