Tirot Sing Ecological Park

Tirot Sing Ecological Park is an ecological and recreational park located at Mairang in Eastern West Khasi Hills district, Meghalaya, about 45 km west of Shillong. Developed as a green public space for conservation and leisure, it is named after U Tirot Sing, the 19th-century Syiem of Nongkhlaw remembered for resisting British rule. The park features landscaped gardens, wooded areas, walking paths and viewpoints overlooking surrounding hills and valleys.

Visitors can expect a landscaped hill park with manicured gardens, tree-lined walking paths, open lawns and elevated viewpoints offering views of the Mairang valley and surrounding Khasi Hills. The park provides areas for leisurely walks, sightseeing and photography, with seating areas and natural surroundings. It is a quiet, family-oriented recreational space with a memorial association to U Tirot Sing.

The park is named after U Tirot Sing Syiem (1802-1835), Syiem (chief) of Nongkhlaw who led Khasi resistance against British occupation of the Khasi Hills from 1829 to 1833. He is commemorated as a prominent early freedom fighter of Meghalaya and the park honors his legacy.

The park commemorates Khasi heritage and honors U Tirot Sing as a cultural hero of Meghalaya. It serves as a community recreational and ecological space reflecting local respect for nature and historical identity.
