Polo Orchid Resort, Cherrapunji

Name: Polo Orchid Resort, Cherrapunji
Address: Near Nohkalikai Falls Road, Sohra, Cherrapunji, East Khasi Hills, Meghalaya 793108, Cherrapunji, IN

★★★★☆

Polo Orchid stands on the edge of the Sohra plateau, near Nohkalikai Falls, where the land drops away into a deep green canyon. The cottages and rooms are set along the rim, and the best of them look straight down the gorge. There is a deck and a glass-walled restaurant on the edge, and on a clear evening the view runs for miles toward the plains. It is the most comfortable place to stay in Cherrapunji, and the closest good hotel to Nohkalikai, the Seven Sisters Falls and the caves. The trailhead for the root-bridge trek is a short drive away. Cloud and rain are part of the deal here. When the weather lifts, the setting is hard to beat.
