    History

    While Laitlum Canyons doesn't have a documented historical narrative in the traditional sense, its significance lies in its natural beauty and its connection to the local Khasi communities. For generations, these canyons have served as grazing grounds for livestock and provided a pathway for villagers to access the remote village of Rasong, located deep within the valley. The stairway carved into the mountainside is a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the local people, enabling them to transport goods and maintain connections with the outside world. Tourism to Laitlum Canyons has increased in recent years, bringing economic opportunities to the region while also highlighting the importance of preserving its pristine environment and cultural heritage.
