Jowai is a beautiful, tranquil town set at an altitude of 1380 m that is undoubtedly the most pristine place in Northeast India. The cool mountain air, green valleys, and flowing waterfalls will certainly mesmerise you. The life and lifestyle of the town are unmistakably derived from the Pnar tribe. As you stroll through the town, you will find modern life emerging alongside old customs, with wooden homes, people dressed in traditional costumes, and locals speaking in a melodic dialect. The glistening turquoise waterfalls, a collection of Nartiang Monoliths, and a swirl of cultures distinguish Jowai from the more commercially developed hill stations of Northeast India. The food in Jowai is something you won’t forget, flavoursome dishes like Jadoh, Doh Khleh, and Tungtoh really capture the spirit of the region. Take your time wandering through pine-covered hills, sit by the breathtaking Krang Suri waterfalls, and connect with the local culture. Jowai leaves a lasting impression; it’s the kind of place that stays with you.
A trip to Jowai can be ideal for a week-long vacation away from all the commercialisation. This delightful hill station is an ideal location for your stress-free getaways in a lush green surrounding.

Syntu Kisar
Situated on the bank of the river Myntdu, this place takes you back in history and offers breathtaking views. Syntu Kisar, which means “The Flower of Gold,” is a scenic place. The place is renowned for being the centre of the freedom struggle, and a memorial has been erected here in memory of freedom fighter Kiang Nangbah. A beautiful suspension bridge has been built over the Myndtu River using indigenous engineering techniques. The bridge stands as an example of the region’s cultural heritage. You can relax and enjoy with your family while basking in the soft sun and cool breeze from the river.
Tryshi Falls
One of the top tourist destinations in Jowai, these falls are nestled amidst scenic landscapes. To reach the Tryshi Falls, one has to travel through the lush green forests and rugged terrain. The falls are often referred to as Jowai’s Shillong’s Elephant Falls; however, it is much bigger and less crowded. The falls delight people with the soothing sound of rushing water and the panoramic views of the Pynthor Nein paddy fields below. Across the falls is a graceful arched bridge from which a winding stone pathway and stairway descend to the base of the waterfall. Take a refreshing dip in the pool beneath the waterfall and enjoy the colourful butterflies flitting around the area.
Nartiang Monoliths
A collection of intricately carved standing stones, also called menhirs, is one of the renowned monuments in Meghalaya. According to the legends, the cluster of monoliths marks the reigns of the Jaintia kings. The rocks, reaching up to a height of 8 meters, are intricately carved and offer a fascinating glimpse into the region’s tribal legacy and ancient craftsmanship. Set in the quiet and open village of Nartiang, the site serves as a powerful connection to the region’s history.
Krang Suri Falls
Krang Suri Falls is located about 30 kilometres from Jowai. This stunning waterfall features turquoise blue waters, cascading mist, and forested hills on each side and draws people from all over. Located in the West Jaintia Hills, Krang Suri Falls has a lovely natural pool where visitors can either swim or just relax. There is a very short hike with a rock pathway to the falls; once you arrive at the viewpoint, the view is simply magical. The hike to Krang Suri has a brilliant cinematic landscape with an alluring feeling generally described as one of the most stunning waterfall experiences in all of Meghalaya.
