Sohra (Cherrapunji), renowned for its scenic beauty and record-breaking rainfall, is now witnessing a silent real estate boom—driven not by traditional developers, but by local tourism operators. A recent 8% rise in property prices near Kynrem Falls, one of the region’s key tourist attractions, highlights the emerging trend of eco-tourism homestay investments.

The price of residential and tourism-adaptable properties in the region has climbed to Rs 40–60 lakh, fueled by growing demand from those setting up eco-friendly homestays, cottages, and small resorts. With post-pandemic travel favoring natural and offbeat destinations, Sohra has emerged as a hotspot for experience-based tourism.

What’s unique about this surge is that it's locally driven. Many regional entrepreneurs and families are converting ancestral land or purchasing new plots to tap into the lucrative homestay market. Properties near waterfalls, viewpoints, and walking trails are especially sought after, as they promise high occupancy and sustainable revenue throughout the tourist season.

Infrastructural support has also improved in recent years, with better road connectivity, mobile network coverage, and power supply in areas like Kynrem Falls and Nongriat, making these investments more viable.

Real estate consultants suggest that if this trend continues, Sohra could become Meghalaya’s next eco-tourism investment cluster, much like Coorg in Karnataka or Munnar in Kerala. The government is also encouraging low-impact, sustainable development by offering guidelines for eco-construction and nature-safe hospitality.

In short, the monsoon capital of India is now making waves in the property market—where natural beauty meets commercial opportunity.
