Sohra Eco Park

Sohra Eco Park is a government-developed nature park located in Sohra (Cherrapunji) in the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya. Situated on the edge of the Sohra plateau, it overlooks deep canyons, lush valleys and the distant plains of Bangladesh. Notable for its manicured lawns, orchid greenhouse, viewpoints and seasonal waterfalls, the park was created to promote eco-tourism and showcase the region's unique plateau landscape and biodiversity.

Visitors can expect a landscaped park on the plateau edge with paved pathways, manicured lawns, flower beds and a greenhouse with orchids and native plants. The main attraction is the series of viewpoints overlooking steep gorges, green valleys, waterfalls and on clear days the plains of Bangladesh. There are footbridges, viewpoints with railings, seating areas and small streams within the park for leisurely walks, sightseeing and photography.

Developed by the Government of Meghalaya as an eco-tourism project in the early 2000s to conserve the plateau landscape, promote sustainable tourism and provide a managed recreational space overlooking the Sohra escarpment.

Located in the Khasi Hills, the park showcases the natural landscape central to Khasi culture and provides interpretation of local flora including orchids native to Meghalaya.
