Markham - Most Beautiful Valley of Meghalaya | Markham Village, Farming and Nature | Northeast India

Markham Valley is a hidden gem in Meghalaya, known for its vast green landscapes, crystal-clear rivers, and peaceful surroundings. It’s a place where nature feels untouched and serene.

Located about 60 km from Shillong, the valley can be reached in around 2-3 hours by road. You can hire a taxi or drive through the scenic East Khasi Hills to get here.

Inside the valley lies Markham Village, where most of the people depend on farming and livestock rearing. The village is known for its unique agricultural practices, especially paddy cultivation and broom grass farming, which are the main sources of livelihood here. Walking through the fields and village lanes gives you a real taste of rural Khasi life.

But as you explore, many questions naturally arise:
How do the villagers manage to live so closely with nature?
Who owns the vast lands spread across the valley?
What is their main source of income and survival?
And what could be the reason behind the formation of such beautiful hills and valleys here?
