Mawthadraishan peak which takes an hour and a half to  reach  from the  main   road,  is  located  on  the  northern side of Nongstoin - Shillong road, near Nongshillong, Mawroh and Markasa villages.  On top of the range, there is a depression with about 7 to 8 fish ponds of considerable size.  The apex of the peak offers a  panoramic  view of the plains of Assam, and the distant Himalayas after the monsoon, on clear days. The districts of Garo Hills, Khasi Hills and part of Bangladesh come within the Panoramic horizons of Mawthadraishan peak.
