Overview for Nongkhnum Island Meghalaya Tour

River islands have a specific geography that most landscape language understates. The water runs on both sides simultaneously, the mainland recedes in both directions at once and the island sits inside the current without going anywhere. Nongkhnum in the West Khasi Hills is one of the larger river islands in Meghalaya – wide enough to hold paddy fields, forest interior and walking paths that do not return to a road. The nongkhnum island meghalaya tour is for the group that understands the difference between looking at water and being surrounded by it.
