Durga Temple

A famous temple of the region, the Durga temple is located near the remnants of the Summer Palace. Long ago, human heads were offered to Ma Durga as sacrifice. Later, during the British rule, this practice was abandoned. This temple is more than 5 centuries old and is extremely rich in historic and cultural values.

Surrounded by the fascinating carnivorous pitcher plants, boat rides in this lake are a great experience. The plants, spread over 50,000 sq. m proves to be a unique sight for all. A fountain shaped like a pitcher plant has been installed in the middle of the lake. This pretty lake sits placidly amid gravelled footpaths, arch bridges, pitcher plant garden and green house-interpretation centre. This is a popular place to visit for the locals and tourists alike.

Located at Mukhla, near the highway about 20 kilometers from the district town of Jowai, this is a beautiful lake with anthropological importance as well. The lake is crystal clear and replects the blue sky. Unharmed and untouched by man's force, the purity is reflected in the lake. Purely natural in sound and sight, it has now turned into a pleasant picnic spot. A small hotel managed by Meghalaya Tourisn is just across the road which offers clean and good service. Read More

These falls are compared with the Elephant falls of Shillong. A bridge connects the waterfall's surroundings with an expanse of green paddy fields. A breathtaking panoramic view of the Pynthor Nein is visible from the bridge. A trek to the bottom of the falls is amazing too.
