???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE SHIRTS & MERCH:
Before I explored the states of Assam and Meghalaya in northeast India, I had heard that it was different from other parts of India in terms of food and culture. But nothing prepared me for how magical this area of the country is. It’s truly a hidden gem. Come along with me and let’s explore Assam and Meghalaya together!
After an incredible first day in Shillong, Meghalaya, my friend Paul and I headed out on a day trip to Cherrapunjee, a town that is often credited as the wettest place on Earth! I couldn’t wait to hit the road, eat, see some attractions, and explore Cherrapunjee. Let’s go!
On our ride, we stopped to get some awesome views of Shillong before continuing on to the village of Mylliem to get some breakfast!
We stopped at the tiny R. Kharbangar Tea Stall. There, we got 3 dishes including small flatbreads called pitha, chicken curry, pork intestines with liver, and dohklieh, which is pork salad with potatoes, ginger, and onions.
I started with the pork intestines with liver, which had such an incredible mix of flavors. The sauce was mixed with sesame seeds and was out of this world. The intestines were soft and chewy, while the liver was dense. It was like a pork salad!
Next, I took small pieces of the pitha (which is made of steamed rice dough) and tried them with everything. They were quite dense, a lot like a Venezuelan arepa. I loved it!
Next was the dohklieh, which reminded me of ceviche. Then I went with the chicken and pitha, which had absorbed all the gravy on the plate. It was outstanding!
I finished with some tea, which was very minty like the ones I’d had in Morocco and Jordan. Then I rinsed my hands and we left. Our entire meal only cost 160 rupees/roughly $2.28 U.S.
From there, we got back on the road and headed south to Mawkdok. On the way, we saw lots of little houses as we traveled down the winding roads. It didn’t feel like India at all!
Mawkdok was gorgeous! It’s a huge, picturesque canyon. Before we got some food, we stopped at a small shop where I bought a traditional Khasi scarf for only 180 rupees/$2.57.
I was still hungry, so we got some prawn maggi at a nearby restaurant. It’s made with instant noodles, but they’re made the regular way. We had our choice of two sauces: a spicy one and a sweet, tomato-based one that was like an organic ketchup.
The spices in the maggi was really nice and I loved the crunch. They were the best instant noodles I’d ever had! It was so unique and I loved the sauces with it! Best of all, it was super filling! Our entire meal cost about 360 rupees/$5.14.
Then we were off to Cherrapunjee! The road was extremely winding and stopped to climb some stairs along the road to get to an amazing viewpoint where we could see the surrounding valley. It was stunning! I raced Paul to the top and then needed a breather when I got there!
Then we continued toward Cherrapunjee. We passed through the town of Laitryngew, which is where the first missionaries who came to India arrived and started a school. It looks almost like Africa here. It was dry at the moment, but monsoon season was on the way.
As we continued toward the town, we saw an amazing, rocky landscape that was pockmarked with little holes and pools. Then we went to see the Wei-Saw-Dong Waterfall. You have to be careful as you walk down the steep, rocky, path and follow a trail to get to them. There’s also a lot of litter here. Please don’t litter!
The waterfalls were so worth the trek it takes to get there. We saw them from afar first and headed down another treacherous path to see them up close. The falls are gorgeous. I’ve never seen a waterfall like this with three pools and drop-offs!
Then we visited Dain-Thlen Falls, which reminded me of something out of Jurassic Park! The views of the canyon were breathtaking. I also laid down near the edge and just breathed. But now it was time to get to Cherrapunjee!
I hope you enjoyed coming with us on our trip from Shillong to Cherrapunjee! If you did, please give it a thumbs up and leave me a comment. Also, please subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food content!

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE SHIRTS & MERCH:
In March of 2019, I traveled to the Indian states of Assam and Meghalaya to experience the people, culture, history, and food of northeast India. I was blown away by what I found there. This area of the country has a completely different look and feel to other parts of India. The culture is very unique and the food is unlike any I’ve had anywhere else. I’m excited to share my adventures there with you. Come along with me as I explore Assam and Meghalaya!
After making the 2.5 hour drive from Shillong to Cherrapunjee, my friend Paul and I headed to a local market to explore have an incredible Khasi lunch. There were fruits and vegetables as far as the eye could see! There were vendors selling fish, massive bottles of raw honey, and so much more.
I tried some nuts that a local woman gave me. They were really good! Most of the things from the market come from outside the Cherrapunjee, or Sohra, area. There were so many things to see on our way to the meat market, including breads, samosas, and a huge amount of tobacco!
The meat market is a sensory overload. There are so many smells and sounds. It’s a little raw and intense to watch the vendors butcher the pork, but it’s real and is a part of everyday life here. You can get every part of the pig here: the heart, liver, ribs, intestines, pork belly, and much more. The abundance of pork here is part of what makes Meghalaya so different from other Indian states.
Because there aren’t many Hindu locals in this part of India, they also eat beef here. Most of the people are Christians or Catholics. Then we passed through the fish market, where I saw an interesting-looking eel, and the beef and poultry market. Everything was super fresh! Nothing here really frozen.
We saw lots of beef cattle on our way to Cherrapunjee, so the beef in the market is local and is raised in the area. It looked phenomenal! It was starting to rain, so Paul showed me a traditional rain cover as well as some locally-made bamboo mats.
I was starving, so we went to get some food next! It all looked amazing! The open-air restaurant was small and charming and I got several different things.
I started with some dense pork liver with a light sauce on it and followed it with jadoh snam, a rice and pork dish that’s cooked in blood. I couldn’t taste the blood, but it was juicy and fatty and I loved it! The pork fritter was super dense and crispy and tasty. Then I went with the pork fat, which was dense and gelatinous and had a flavorful curry on it. It reminded me of pork belly!
The pork salad was phenomenal, as was the fermented fish chutney. Then I went with the potatoes, green beans, and onions, which was incredible. Then I tried a chili and got some more liver! I capped off the meal with some minty red tea. This was one of my favorite meals of my life! The pork was so fresh and flavorful and blows American pork dishes out of the water. And it only cost 90 rupees/$1.29 U.S.
Back in the market, we saw a stall selling lots of biscuits and other breads. Then we left the market and drove 45 minutes away to see the famous living root bridges of Meghalaya! After you get there, you have to hike another 45 minutes to see them.
We rode down a windy, rocky road through a canyon and finally arrived there. We bought sticks for 20 rupees each to help us down the path. I ran down the path’s stairs to cut down the time.
We crossed a scary suspension bridge and still had so much more to go! We crossed a second bridge and finally reached the living root bridge! It’s made of intertwined tree roots and is gorgeous! We passed through the village and made our way to the double-decker root bridge. It’s made of the roots of a huge banyan tree. It’s unbelievable! You can’t see this anywhere else in the world!
I hope you enjoyed coming along with me for my Khasi lunch and to see the living root bridges! If you did, please give it a thumbs up and leave me a comment. Also please subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss out on any of my upcoming travel/food adventures!

Local KHASI FOOD in Cherrapunjee + Double Decker LIVING ROOT Bridge | Sohra, Meghalaya, India
AMAZING Meghalaya KHASI THALI 13 Items in Police Bazaar + Shillong Peak | Shillong, Meghalaya, India
???? PAUL:
???? WATCH: Indian's Secret Vineyards
???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE SHIRTS & MERCH:
When I traveled to northeast India in March of 2019, I was thrilled to find myself in a stunningly beautiful area of the country that I didn’t even know existed just a few months earlier. Everything here is so different from other parts of India. Come along with me as I explore northeast India!
As my first day in Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya, continued, my friend Paul took me to eat a Khasi thali. This thali is so different from every other thali I’ve ever had, including the ones I had in Assam! Then we headed up to Shillong Peak to get some insane views of the city!
We made our way to Police Bazaar, which is where the restaurant is located. Police Bazaar is the most commercial hub in Shillong. You can buy clothing, street food, accessories, shoes, and more.
The restaurant Paul took me to was very unique. It was pretty small and all the booths face the same direction. We ordered our thali, which contained lots of non-veg dishes including chicken and pork.
I started with the jadoh, which is a Khasi rice with pork that is reminiscent of a risotto or paella. The pork is pretty fatty! Then I tried a fresh tomato salad with green beans, followed by a radish salad, which was crunchy and reminded me of bamboo. I liked it a lot!
Next, I went with the pork salad. It’s like a Russian salad with potato, onion, and pork. I loved it! It’s fatty and kind of tastes like a ceviche. I also loved the fattiness of the pork curry.
The dal mash was very nice and super light, with no heat to it. The fermented fish chutney was very potent, fishy, and spicy. The mint chutney was amazing with the rice. The mint was so strong but so good! The banana flower chutney was like a plantain mash. The mashed potatoes were light and contained some onion. The mashed potato with cauliflower I tried next had a creamy element that I liked a lot.
Then I went with the pork fat, which was delicious and gelatinous. I also loved the dense pork ball. The next dish was chicken curry with potatoes. The curry was insane! I loved it so much! Then I went with a pepper. It took me a few bites for the heat to kick in, but when it did, it was intense! While I cooled my mouth down with some water and rice, it was Paul’s turn to try!
The next thing I tried was a fermented soybean sauce, which looked super rich and delicious. I tried it with some of the jadoh. It was really rich and earthy. I had something similar to it in Japan! But for me, the star of the meal was the chicken curry. It was so good, I had to thank the owner, who was in love with me!
After our meal, we visited the bazaar, where Paul showed me a beautiful handmade shawl. After a bit of bargaining, I bought four in total for the women in my family. They’re great for winter days!
Before we set off for Shillong Peak, we went to get a double espresso with ice. I got it the way I like it, with no sugar. It was perfect! Exactly what I needed to continue on with my day! Our total came to 210 rupees, or about $4 U.S.
Then it was time for Shillong Peak, but we hit a huge traffic jam! It was super tight but we squeezed through the cars and pedestrians. The drive by scooter took about 15 minutes. It got chilly on the way, so I recommend dressing warm when you come to Shillong!
After not being able to visit the peak due to me being a foreigner and the ongoing situation with Pakistan, Paul took me to another area of the peak with great views. We got out and walked past a Catholic graveyard, which reminded me of a cemetery I’d visited in Guatemala because of the colors.
The landscape and greenery of this area felt very European. We reached the lookout point, but the view of the city wasn’t great because it was kind of gloomy. It was still beautiful!
Then we headed to a café, we got an insane view of Shillong! It’s gorgeous! This part of India is such a different world. Then we went back to Police Bazaar to get a beer. The lounge offered an amazing view of the bazaar below. Instead of a beer, I got some smooth Indian whiskey. It was so good!

Top 10 Indian Street Foods in Meghalaya, India | The BEST INDIAN Street Food in Meghalaya
???? WATCH: Top 10 Indian Street Foods in Delhi
???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE SHIRTS & MERCH:
Before I traveled to the state of Meghalaya in northeastern India back in March of 2019, I had heard that the cuisine there was very different from the food in the rest of India. They weren’t kidding! I was blown away by the unique food there and want to share my 10 favorites. These are the top 10 Indian street foods in Meghalaya, India!
1. Pork Feast (Nat Khasi Restaurant in Iewduh Market)
Life in Shillong revolves around Iewduh Market, and one of the best places to grab some food is the market’s Nat Khasi Restaurant. Their Jadoh, Dohklieh, beef liver, and pork intestine sausage are all outstanding!
2. Khasi Thali (Trattoria Restaurant in Police Bazar)
When you visit Police Bazar, stop inside Trattoria Restaurant to try the rice-and-pork dish called Jadoh, as well as the creamy Dohklieh, light and mild dal mash, fermented soybean sauce, spicy fish chutney, mint chutney, pork balls, and pork fat. I was in pork heaven!
3. Momos & Chow (Police Bazar at Night)
Return to Police Bazar at night, when the street food vendors open shop, to try the juicy pulled chicken momos with mild red sauce and the flavorful chow with chicken and onion. Add green chili sauce for a spicy kick!
4. Dohklieh and Pork Innards (Police Bazar Breakfast)
If you visit Police Bazar in the morning, you’ll find street food vendors selling traditional dishes for breakfast, including the Russian salad-like Dohklieh and meatballs and pork innards that you can eat with chapati. They’re fatty, juicy, and full of flavor!
5. Pitha (Police Bazar Breakfast)
One of my favorite sweet dishes in Meghalaya is the Pitha you can find at Police Bazar in the morning. It’s a thick, airy, pounded rice patty that contains coconut and sugar. It’s sweet and is bursting with coconut flavor!
6. Home-Cooked Feast (Jordan’s House)
When you travel solo and rely solely on locals like I do, you often have some amazing experiences you’d never have otherwise, like getting invited into a new friend’s house for a home-cooked meal. My guide’s friend’s mom whipped up an amazing feast that included mouthwatering minced beef patties, green beans, fatty pork with sesame curry, dried beef, and more!
7. Putharo with Chicken Curry (R. Kharbangar Tea Stall)
As you head south to the Cherrapunjee area, stop in the town of Mylliem to eat at R. Kharbangar Tea Stall. The chewy pork intestines with liver were amazing, but the tender chicken curry with putharo was the highlight! Letting the curry soak into the putharo was the best part!
8. Prawn Maggi (Mawkdok)
On the ride to Cherrapunjee, make another stop near Mawkdok Valley, where you’ll find a restaurant selling an instant noodle dish called Prawn Maggi. It’s very flavorful and full of spices, and is even better when you add some of the spicy sauce that’s provided!
9. River Hut Feast (Shnongpdeng)
When you visit the Dawki area, be sure to stop by the huts along the Umngot River in Shnongpdeng. From the light and fishy river fish curry to the moist and buttery beef curry, this meal is unreal. The earthy jackfruit, bony fish fry, spicy tomato chutney, fruity dal, and bitter jungle vegetable were also spectacular!
10. Blood Sausage (Laitlyngkot)
Blood sausage is one of my favorite foods in the world and some of the best I’ve ever had was from a street food stall in the town of Laitlyngkot. It’s served with onions, chili, and peppers and is made of hot, spicy meat with an amazing texture!
I hope you enjoyed checking out my top 10 Indian street foods in Meghalaya, India!

Price of Thali - Rs 230
Paneer and papad 1 serving only, rest unlimited.

Best Khasi Food-Meghalaya- You&IArtsCafe
What's your favourite cousine in India? My new favourite is Khasi - simple and yummy
.
Khasi cuisine is very minimalistic. The meat is smoked and the fish is fermented. In fact fermentation seems to be a popular procedure for rice and liquor too. They barely use any spices except onions, ginger, sesame seeds paste, turmeric, and some mustard oil. The cuisine favours the meat lovers. But the vegetarians will find some local dishes too. Dal and some stir fried vegetables is a staple here.

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE SHIRTS & MERCH:
When I traveled to northeast India in March of 2019, I had no idea it would be one of the most amazing trips of my life. But from the moment I arrived in Assam and Meghalaya, I was blown away by everything around me, from the people to the culture to the food to the breathtaking scenery. This place is so special, and I’m thrilled that I get to share it with you. Come along with me as I explore the wilds and wonders of northeast India!

Follow Jordan on Instagram:
On my third day in Meghalaya, I headed out to see some local attractions and then have a home-cooked Khasi meal! Join us as I explore more of beautiful Meghalaya!
My friend Dickie from Wild Heart Campers would be taking me around for the day. I couldn’t wait to see a local canyon. We rode through a youth-centric area of Shillong that’s full of college students to get there. There was lots of traffic! But it wasn’t long before we left the city behind and entered more hilly, rural environments. It reminded me of northern Scotland and Lesotho with the winding road.
Then we arrived at a beautiful, hazy canyon. It was like a smaller and greener version of the Grand Canyon! It was stunning. I could see three or four villages nestled within the canyon. We found a lookout point that extends over the canyon, which reminded me of Table Mountain in South Africa. Just be careful when you go there! People have died here trying to get selfies for Instagram.
I met a man selling some delicious minty tea as we admired the view. During the rainy season, the entire canyon would be lush and vivid green, but it would also be much more treacherous and slippery.
From there, we visited a large hut with a bamboo roof. The pillars are made from the trunks of massive trees. A dance party is held in front of the hut once a year. A miniature stadium faces the hut. Here, the queen and other spectators have a great view of the dancing.
After 25 minutes of driving, we arrived back in Shillong. The city is growing a lot, so it’s seeing an influx of people. Dickie and I met up with my buddy Paul, who took us to his friend Jordan’s house, where we’d have a home-cooked Khasi meal. I couldn’t wait to eat!
After meeting Jordan, we went inside, met the dog, and prepared to eat our traditional Khasi feast! Jordan’s family had prepared an amazing-looking spread for us!
I started with the mincemeat beef patty, which was perfectly fried and delicious. I tried it with the wild flower pickle. It was different! Then I went with the super light dal with rice. Then I tried the bean salad, which was delicious! It had a sesame curry on it and was incredible. I took the chili from the serving bowl. It was outstanding!
Then I tried the pork, which was juicy, tender, and fatty. It was covered in the same sesame curry as the bean salad. There was a little bit of sweetness to it and was almost like chicharron, or pork rinds!
Then I had the dried beef, which was like a nice angus steak with curry. It was chewy like jerky! Next was the dried fish chutney with chili, which I put in some lettuce. It was spicy and salty with a potent dry fish taste!
Then I went with the bamboo shoot pickle, which was pungent and had a really great texture. Everything was so fresh and delicious! It was so different from America, where everything is frozen.
What an incredible feast! I have to thank Jordan and his mom for preparing this amazing meal.
I hope you enjoyed coming with me to see the beautiful canyon and joining me for this amazing Khasi feast! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up and leave me a comment below. Also, please subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food videos!

UNREAL Meghalaya STREET FOOD - Blood Sausage & SMOKED Pork and Beef | Mylliem, Meghalaya, India
???? PAUL:
???? WATCH: Meghalaya Paratha's
???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE SHIRTS & MERCH:
The trip I took to Assam and Meghalaya in northeast India in March of 2019 is one of the most memorable in my eleven years of traveling the world. Even though this was my third trip to India, I was blown away because this part of the country is so different from the big cities I explored further south on other trips. I’m so excited to share my adventures there with you guys. Come join me as I continue exploring Assam and Meghalaya!
After an incredible day trip the took me from the Meghalaya capital of Shillong to the gorgeous waterfalls, bustling markets, and magnificent living root bridges of Cherrapunjee, my new friend Paul and I made the journey back to Shillong. On the way, we got some mouthwatering Meghalaya street food that blew my mind!
We pulled into Mylliem, India, a village about 45 minutes outside of Shillong. There are lots of unique foods here, including smoked pork, smoked beef, and blood sausage. The pork in Meghalaya is unreal, the best pork I’ve ever had in my life. I couldn’t wait to try more amazing dishes from this part of India!
We explored a bit to see the different foods being offered before stopping in a pickling shop to try four different types of pickle. There were smoked meats hanging from the ceiling.
We started with our pork momo with a spicy sauce and onions. It practically fell apart when I picked it up and the sauce was really hot! It was light on the pork and the onions were more prominent, but it was delicious!
Then I went with the blood sausage, which came wrapped in a banana leaf. I dove right in. It was absolutely heavenly. I love the taste of blood sausage. It’s smoky, bloody, and soft and came with spring onions. It was also gelatinous, but not in the same way that fat is. I’d found blood sausage to be pretty rare in India. The only other place I’d had it in the country was Little Tibet in Delhi, so I was very happy to come across some again.
Then we moved on to dried, smoked pork, along with beef, pickles, chutneys, rice, and more. I started with some pork soup with rice, which was very juicy and hot! I took a sip of chai to rinse the heat out of my mouth and then moved on to the smoked pork, which looked similar to bacon. With the onions and peppers, it was like a tough bacon stir-fry!
Next was the beef, which was hard and a little too tough for me, though I liked the onions in it. I ate the onions and peppers around it. The beef was so hard I almost broke a tooth on it!
Next was the thali, which contained bamboo shoots, potatoes mixed with carrots and beets, wild apple, peppers, and tamarind. The tamarind was nice and strong and a little sweet, but there was a seed inside. The dehydrated wild apple was strong and dense, but good! Next, I tried a chili that wound up being pretty mild, but it still opened up my sinuses!
Then I tried the pickled bamboo shoots, which were pungent! The potatoes, carrots, and beets were very phenomenal, while the tree tomato chutney was very light and had no spice, while the fish chutney was very strong and salty. It was also spicy! It reminded me of Thai fish paste! Next was the fermented beans, which was super nice and almost reminded me of peanut butter. I loved it!
Then I tried roasted beef, which was like a big meatball with a nice sauce on it. I followed that with wild mushroom chutney with pepper. It was earthy and had very little spice. It was my favorite! The tomato salad with onions contained a strong herb, but it was also super refreshing. I loved it!
Then I learned about the process the people here use to smoke their meat and got the chance to watch them do it.
The food was phenomenal, but now it was time to get back to Shillong!
I hope you enjoyed coming along with me to get dinner in Mylliem! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up and leave me a comment below. Also please subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food content!

#shorts Groom Capturing Village Meghalaya | Meghalaya Culture | Garo Hills |Khasi #travelwithshenaz
This is the Groom Capturing Tribal Village in Meghalaya where I witnessed the groom being captured. He was fed rice beer all night until he agreed to marry the girl. The priest was immediately brought in. They beheaded the chicken after beating the couple with it. Then they removed the intestine of the chicken ???? and observed it. They believe that if the intestine is healthy, it will be a happy marriage but if unhealthy the marriage is doomed. Even if it's doomed the couple is still married off.
In some cases where the boy absolutely refuses, they let him go the next morning after a night of coaxing him with rice beer.
Every culture has its only marriage traditions and culture. What is yours?
