Laitlum Canyon Ridge
Laitlum Canyon Ridge, also known as Smit Valley, is a picturesque mountain ridge located near Smit Village, about 24 kilometers from Shillong in the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya. The name "Laitlum" translates to "The End of Hills", and the ridge offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding verdant hills, bamboo plantations, and colorful beds of orchids.
The ridge is often referred to as the "Amphitheatre of Meghalaya" due to its natural amphitheater-like setting. The hill slopes are painted in various hues from earthy brown to soft pink and vibrant orange during sunrise and sunset, creating a stunning visual experience.
Visitors can enjoy a trek down the 3000-step stairway carved out of the mountain, which winds through fern-covered rocks and lush greenery. At the bottom of the canyon, a gurgling stream flows through a grassy meadow, adding to the serene atmosphere. The area also features a quaint wooden bridge over the stream, making it a perfect spot for picnics and relaxation.
