Kyllai Lyngsngun Peak

Kyllai Lyngsngun Peak, commonly known as Kyllang Rock, is a massive granite dome near Phlangdilong village in Eastern West Khasi Hills, Meghalaya, about 12 km from Mairang and 78 km from Shillong. Rising to about 1,650 metres above sea level, it is one of the largest natural rock formations in the region. Notable for its steep southern slope, panoramic views, trekking route and Khasi folklore, it is a prominent natural attraction and viewpoint.

Visitors can expect a large reddish granite dome with a relatively flat top accessible via a trekking trail with stone steps and uneven rock surfaces. The summit offers panoramic views of surrounding hills, valleys and villages of Eastern West Khasi Hills. The southern side is a near-vertical rock wall, while the northern side has a gentler slope with vegetation. Visitors can explore the top plateau, view small natural depressions holding water, and observe the landscape. The site is in a rural setting with limited commercial development.

The peak is significant in Khasi folklore which narrates a legend of two hills, Kyllang and Mawthadraishan, who were friends and later rivals. The rock is considered sacred by local communities and is part of oral traditions in the West Khasi Hills region.
