Photography & Painting

Cherrapunjee Holiday Resort is ideally located on Laitkynsew Hill Top in one of the most scenic places in the world flanked by a 3000 feet deep valley between Mawsynram – Cherrapunjee Plateau and the Laitkynsew Hill on one side and the flat Sylhet Flood Plains in Bangladesh on the other. Ideal locale for Photography & Painting.

As one proceeds from the Bay of Bengal over the flood plains of Bangladesh crisscrossed by many rivers and streams, the Khasi Hills abruptly erupt out of these flat plains.

The Khasi Hills deflect the uninterrupted flow of the pregnant moisture laden clouds of the Indian Summer Monsoon blown from the Bay of Bengal and cause record downpours along the southern fringes of these near vertical South Khasi Hills.

The low flying, fluffy monsoon clouds are swept over the hills and channelled through the deep valleys creating beautiful sceneries that will thrill any nature photographer. The monsoon clouds embracing the hills and uncovering the beauty of the freshly washed rainforests and the numerous throbbing silvery white waterfalls will give you many enchanting opportunities to capture the unrivalled beauty of nature with your camera, honed by your picture composing skills.

The heavy downpours give birth to numerous streams and rivers that leap off these near perpendicular hills in free abandon in a time stopping motion.

The waterfalls become very beautiful to watch and can be captured in different states, while in spate, in full flow, as they thin out to normal flow after a lapse of time from the rain event.

The streams and rivers provide excellent photo ops.

The forests are populated by many varied species of plant life, animal and insect lives. If you wish to photograph our butterflies and moths we have perhaps  hundreds of varieties of them all. We have birds that are typical to these places. Since these birds are shy of humans, extra effort is required to get them photographed.

If Painting is your passion, this place provides varied landscapes and subjects to paint undisturbed. You are certain to come back again and again to capture the terrain, the waterfalls, rivers and streams, nature in action as the monsoon clouds embrace these hills, the people, animals, birds, insects and the flora and the sunsets in your brushes and depict them on canvas.

I noticed one young lady coming to have breakfast everyday at Orange Roots in her Scooty. I talked to her and discovered that she was a Painter.

Ms. Inessa Garder from Novosibirsk, Russia came and stayed with us at the Resort in March 2021. She gifted us a beautiful painting of the contrasting landscape. She was very much impressed by the Scenic Views and the People and made many paintings which she would take on to larger canvas when she is back in her Studio in Europe.

50+ Voyagers Travel and Adventure Club Pvt Ltd, Koramangala, Bangalore regularly bring their groups to stay with us for two days in their 6 Nights 7 Days Tour Itinerary of Meghalaya. Today (21st September 2023) as the group of Seniors were having their breakfast, Mr. Sarvadaman Johri F.C.A, MIMA from Sunder Vihar, New Delhi who is traveling with the Group walked in to my Office to gift us a sketch drawing of the view from our Sit Out Terrace, a view of the mountains. We thank him for his beautiful gift and shall arrange for its proper display.

On the back of the Drawing Sheet he has written “Thanks to Cherrapunjee Holiday Resort and their Lovely Staff. Voyagers 50+. Signed Sarvadaman Johri.

Thank you Sir for your appreciation. We would love to remember you always.
