Living Jongksha · East Khasi HillsJongksha. Hills shaped by the wind.
An open sweep of rolling grass hills in East Khasi Hills, folding away to a far-off lake. Arched villas and tents are set along lantern-lit stone paths, each turned to the sunset. This is the camp for big skies, night-glow evenings and stars.
