Jaintia Hills

Jaintia Hills is the part of old Jaintia Kingdom which is a land of majestic hills filled with rich beautiful and natural vegetation and mineral deposits. This beautiful hill is located in Meghalaya and is part of the Patkai hill range that extends across the Indo-Myanmar borders. Jaintia Hills is a smaller hill district as compared to the Khasi and Garo Hills which amazes travellers with its clean lakes and lush green valley. Jowai is the administrative headquarters which is the most developed town of the area and is the only place connected to other towns outside the hills. The Jaintia Hills comprise two districts: the East Jaintia Hills and West Jaintia Hills.

The Jaintia Hills is home to one of the most beautiful waterfalls of India, the Krang Suri Falls. Set against the backdrop of the rugged rocks with the verdant creepers and trees, the unreal shade of blue taken on by the water inspires the artistic side of anyone who views it. The beautiful village of Nartiang is also situated in these fascinating Jaintia hills where one can find the remnants of the Summer Palace of the Jaintia King. The Nartiang Monoliths, a large collection of mighty stones set since the stone age, may also be found here. Explore these hills with Shillong Holiday Packages.
