Which Hotel in Cherrapunji Should You Actually Book?

• Want the view to be the main event? Polo Orchid Resort's cliffside infinity pool and plunge-pool rooms are the best choice if budget isn't a concern.

• Planning the Double Decker Root Bridge trek? Cherrapunjee Holiday Resort or Nidaya Sohra/Betzer Homestay put you closest to the trailhead, so you're not losing half a day to transfers.

• Travelling with family and want space to relax? The garden at San Nael La Resort and its outdoor common areas work better than a luxury cliffside resort in Meghalaya for couples.

• On a tighter budget but still want a good stay? Iana Sohra Homestay consistently rates as well as, or better than, properties charging three times as much.

• Want to be walkable to the market and falls? Labana Hotel or 7 Sisters Falls View Inn keep you close to Sohra's everyday conveniences without a long cab ride each time.
