Riya grew up in Sohra and works the gorge trails around Nongriat, Nohwet and Rainbow Falls. Trips run at the pace of the terrain, not the clock — the descent to the double-decker bridge is 3,000 steps and the climb back defeats people who rush it.

Village stays are arranged directly with families in Nongriat, with the fee going to the household rather than an agency.
