Meghalaya
The Jaintia Hills are home to Nartiang village, 63km east of Shillong, where you can visit an intriguing complex of stone monoliths erected by different clans between the 16th and 19th centuries – the largest concentration of many monolith groups in Meghalaya.
Also at Nartiang is an ancient Durga temple, formerly used for human sacrifices.
