Beneath the wildflowers, besides the moonriver.

Oraya Mist is a two-cottage stay on the old Shillong–Sohra road, where the East Khasi Hills fold down to a rocky river the locals cross by memory. Pine on the slopes, wildflowers in the grass, wood-smoke from Mylliem drifting up around noon.
The river has more names than the maps will hold; in Mylliem they simply call it ours. It argues with the boulders all summer, runs silver-quiet by November — and on clear full-moon nights it does the one trick that named this hillside: it carries the moon, all the way around the bend.
a short walk below the cottages · cold, clear, good for wading
12:00 · two cottages
The green one, up on stilts over the rock, with a silver roof the rain likes to play. Sage walls, white linen, a porch where the caretaker’s dog naps at four. Sleeps two to four.
Bamboo walls, a roof of dried grass, red chairs on the step. Inside it is all warm timber and lamplight; outside, the path drops toward the river. Sleeps two to four.
16:00 · the hours between
Some afternoons the cloud walks up from the river,
and lets itself in.
19:30 · fire & supper
Evenings here are firewood arithmetic: a bonfire by the cottages, supper finding its way down from the resort’s kitchen. Cook your own in the open-air shed — we’ll stack the wood and lend the pots — or have the caretaker call an order in.

Your stay begins long before you step into your cottage.
Come ready to slow down and disconnect.
A few things worth carrying up the hill.
No umbrella needed — one waits in every cottage. You are, after all, in one of the wettest places on Earth, where the weather loves a surprise.
All that’s left to bring is your sense of adventure. We’ll take care of the mist, the river, the silence, and the views.
Half an hour from Shillong on the old Sohra road; about three and a half hours from Guwahati airport. The last stretch is a hill path — we’ll send the caretaker’s pin and walk you in.
