Ranikor Riverside

Ranikor Riverside is a scenic stretch along the Kynshi River, also known as Jadukata River, at Ranikor town in South West Khasi Hills, Meghalaya. Known for its clear waters, wide sandy banks and surrounding low hills, it is a popular spot for angling, boating and picnics. The riverside is noted for mahseer fishing and seasonal angling competitions, offering tranquil natural scenery near the India-Bangladesh border.

Visitors can expect a wide, open riverbank with clear shallow water, sandy stretches resembling a beach, and views of low green hills. The area is largely natural and undeveloped, with space for walking along the bank, sitting and picnicking, photography, and seasonal boating and angling on the Kynshi/Jadukata River. There are no major built structures, and the setting is quiet and rural.

Ranikor Riverside is culturally significant as a traditional fishing and angling centre for local Khasi communities and is known for annual angling competitions that attract anglers from across Meghalaya and neighbouring regions.
