Cherrapunji (Sohra)

Local nameCherrapunji
LocationMeghalaya, India

Cherrapunji or Sohra is a sub-divisional town East Khasi Hills district in the Indian state of Meghalaya. It was the traditional capital of ka hima Sohra.

Sohra has often been credited as being the wettest place on Earth, but currently, nearby Mawsynram holds that distinction. Sohra still holds the all-time record for the most rainfall in a calendar month and in a year, however. It received 9,300 millimetres in July 1861 and 26,461 millimetres between 1 August 1860 and 31 July 1861.
