55 kms from
Shillong is closely rival of Cherrapunjee in annual rainfall. Its major
attraction is Mawjymbuin cave with a giant stalagmite in the form of
Shivalinga. One and half Kilometres off the right hand side of the Shillong
Mawsynram - Balat - Ranikor Highway, very near Weiloi Village, once comes
across a unique geological formation called "Symper Rock". It is an almost
flat topped loaf-shaped rocky dome, which rises sharply from the midst of
the surrounding hillocks.
From its base, one has to take an exciting uphill trek to reach the summit
of the rock. From the top of the hill one can see the gorgeous surrounding
hills and valleys and the plain and fast moving rivers of Bangladesh.
