Profit
Is an Airbnb in Sohra (Cherrapunji) Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Sohra (Cherrapunji) Airbnb took in ₹139,605 in the 12 months to November 2025, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about ₹14,300 a month after running costs.
