Nongstoin is the gateway to some of Meghalaya's most pristine, off-the-beaten-path natural attractions:
- **Nongkhnum Island:** The largest river island in Meghalaya (and second largest in Asia), formed by the bifurcation of the Kynshi River. It features beautiful sandy shores and sprawling grasslands. - **Waterfalls:** The surrounding district is famous for breathtaking falls, notably **Langshiang Falls**, **Weinia Falls**, and **Thum Falls**. - **Mawthadraishan Peak:** Located on the way to Nongstoin, it offers panoramic views of the plains of Assam and the Himalayas on clear days, dotted with picturesque fish ponds.
