Sohra

I recently went to Sohra on an impromptu visit. It didn't disappoint. Fortunately, it was a bright and clear day, unlike most days when Sohra is enveloped in a blanket of fog and the various viewpoints only look out into a thick, endless whiteness. For a little while, there was only mist around, especially at U Khoh Ramhah, but it soon cleared up remarkable well, and I could look out into the valley, and see the plains of Bangladesh in the distance. I missed out on seeing Ka Nohkalikai, but managed to see Ka Nohsngithiang. These waterfalls are a different picture in summer, having the life and vigour of the famed rains. Nonetheless, the cliff views were awesome.

Thankarang Park, which is otherwise filled with sightseers, was perfectly quiet. It wasn't the season for tourists, I was told. I had it all to myself, which I couldn't help revelling at!

The town itself looked idyllic, peaceful. I wish I'd gotten more pictures, especially of the old church, steeped in history, and the facade of the town in the distance as one first sees it. I couldn't visit the heart of town. This square is quite picturesque, I thought. Notice that the clouds are never far, or long gone!
