Why November here
A grass-and-sand island between branches of the Kynshi, with falls at its edges and big-sky camping.
Nongkhnum is West Khasi Hills’ river island, formed where the Kynshi splits: grass flats and sand banks with the Weinia and Kshaid Thum falls at the edges. It is a camping-and-slow-walk destination reached by boat and foot from Nongstoin.
What to do
Grass-flat camping
Big-sky nights between the river branches.
