Laitlum means ‘End of the Hills’. Situated at a distance of 25 Kms from Shillong and with its vast green lush forests with rocky pathways and 180 degree deep gorges with a river flowing through it, Laitlum Canyon is one of the best unexplored and untouched piece of bounty of the region. One can literally spend the whole day witnessing the breathtaking gorges and slopes painted in different hues which tends to change colours as the days progresses.
Laitlum is also known as trekker’s paradise. Ideal for the hikers and the nature lovers, one can use the stairway which goes to the village below, known as Rasong, en route exploring the bamboo plantations, beautiful meadows, and wild exotic orchids. You also get to see a gorgeous panoramic view of the village.
