This package is not for the faint-hearted. This journey is one where the West and South-West areas of Meghalaya are covered by this Inter-District Trek. It’s a challenging journey that might take three days to accomplish. Nongstoin is the starting point, and the route is towards Nongkhnum Island, Umjarain, Phlangdilion, and Ranikor. The trip leads along an ancient trade route to an old market called ‘Iew Rilang.’ There are currently only a few remnants of this market. In addition to this, there are tunnels on a hilltop that may be explored and a rock with a human face that was previously revered as a divinity. There are also other waterfalls in the area. The hike will finish at the South West Khasi Hills of Ranikor.

About the host:
Hai-Kai Adventure Tours and Travels is a Travel agency based in Nongstoin, West Khasi Hills District (WKHD). Starting in the year 2019, the group explores exotic and uncharted places within the district.
This venture was created from the interests and ideas of a group of friends who liked exploring the area through years of travel and hikes. “Hai-Kai”, in the local dialect means “let’s walk”. They provide a sustainable approach that helps maintain the natural balance and simultaneously offers a source of secondary livelihood to those engaged. The group also seeks to promote unknown areas in the region. They establish relationships with local youth in the WKHD communities and provide education, workshops, and training on sustainable practices.
