Nongsawlia Presbyterian Church

Nongsawlia Presbyterian Church holds the distinction of being the first Presbyterian church established in Northeast India, tracing back to the arrival of Welsh missionaries in the 19th century. The church sits in Nongsawlia village, one of the oldest settlements in the Cherrapunji area, and remains an active place of worship today. Its plain architecture reflects the practical missionary style of the period rather than ornate design. The site offers a quieter counterpoint to the region's natural attractions, appealing to visitors interested in the area's colonial and religious history.
