Ri-Bhoi is a scenic district in Meghalaya, with its headquarters at Nongpoh, located between Shillong and Guwahati.
Known for its rich biodiversity, fertile land, and rivers like the Umtrew and Umsiang, the district supports agriculture and horticulture—especially crops like rice, maize, turmeric, and pineapple.
The population is predominantly tribal, including the Khasi-Bhoi, Tiwa, Karbi, War, Maram, and Garo communities, who maintain vibrant cultural traditions and follow a matrilineal system.
