Destination
Laitlum Canyons
Edge-of-the-world canyons above endless green valleys.
East Khasi Hills
Laitlum — “end of the hills” — is a canyon viewpoint east of Shillong where grasslands drop into deep valleys. It often opens TRIS day itineraries: wide skies, quiet ridges, and a slower start before Dawki or living-root trails. Ideal for photography, short walks, and travellers who want space before denser tourist circuits.
