Historical roots

Ri Bhoi district and the surrounding Khasi Hills have been home to the Khasi people for centuries.

Connectivity

Nongpoh is on NH-6 approximately 55 km from Guwahati and 50 km from Shillong. MPRTC and private bus services on the Guwahati-Shillong highway.

Seasonal context

The orange and pineapple harvest seasons (November-January for oranges, June-August for pineapple) are the most commercially active periods. The monsoon (June-September) makes the Khasi Hills most scenic. Christmas is a major community celebration.
