Wari Chora Homestay

Nestled in the emerald hills of South Garo Hills, Wari Chora Homestay is a cosy, rustic base for travellers who want to experience Meghalaya’s river canyons and caves in an unhurried way. Surrounded by dense forests and clear streams, it places you close to the region’s signature attractions while still feeling removed from the busy tourist trails. Stay & Comfort The homestay is simple, clean, and thoughtfully maintained, with essential comforts like electricity that can be rare in such a remote setting. Evenings are unhurried: you can charge your devices, sort your photos from the day’s adventures, and relax without worrying about power cuts. Basic but dependable facilities make it a practical choice for both solo explorers and small groups. Easy Road Access & Parking One of the biggest advantages of staying here is its reachability. Good road connectivity for this part of Meghalaya means you spend less time figuring out logistics and more time outdoors. Travellers arriving by private taxi or self-driven car will find convenient parking on-site, which is especially helpful if you’re carrying camera gear, trekking equipment, or inflatable kayaks. Gateway to Wari Chora The homestay sits within easy access of the breathtaking Wari Chora gorge – a narrow, emerald-green river canyon flanked by towering rock walls and thick forest. Local guides can help arrange boat or tube rides through the canyon, short hikes along the river, and safe swimming spots depending on the season and water levels. Early mornings and late afternoons are particularly magical, with soft light on the water and birds calling from the cliffs. Nearby Experiences Beyond Wari Chora itself, this is an excellent base to discover other natural wonders of the Garo Hills: - Siju Caves: Among the longest cave systems in India, Siju is known for its limestone formations, cavernous halls, and resident bats. Day trips from the homestay let you explore the caves and return to a quiet village atmosphere by evening. - Pitcher Plant Paradise: A fascinating stop for nature lovers, this area showcases the region’s famous carnivorous pitcher plants and other unique flora. It’s an eye-opening glimpse into the biodiversity that makes Meghalaya so special. Local Life & Atmosphere Staying at the homestay offers a window into everyday life in Emangre and the wider Garo region. Expect warm, straightforward hospitality, simple home-style meals, and evenings spent listening to insects, distant river sounds, and village chatter rather than traffic. It’s the kind of place where you slow down naturally—sipping tea on the balcony, watching mist drift over the hills, and planning the next day’s river or cave adventure. Whether you’re here for canyoning, cave exploration, nature photography, or just the pleasure of being close to the forest and river, Wari Chora Homestay offers a comfortable, well-connected base in one of Meghalaya’s most striking landscapes.
