Meghalaya

Meghalaya, meaning “Abode of Clouds,” is a picturesque state in northeast India known for its breathtaking natural beauty. Home to some of the world’s wettest places, like Cherrapunji and Mawsynram, it offers lush landscapes, cascading waterfalls, and verdant valleys. The state’s living root bridges, particularly in Nongriat, are engineering marvels created by the indigenous Khasi people.

Meghalaya’s capital, Shillong, often referred to as the “Scotland of the East,” is a charming hill station with a pleasant climate, vibrant markets, and serene lakes. The state also boasts stunning caves like Mawsmai and Liat Prah, perfect for adventure seekers.

Rich in cultural diversity, Meghalaya celebrates various festivals with music, dance, and traditional attire. The Khasi, Jaintia, and Garo tribes are known for their unique customs, and visitors can experience their hospitality in the many eco-tourism villages.

Whether you’re trekking through dense forests, exploring serene landscapes, or immersing yourself in local traditions, Meghalaya is a haven for nature lovers and cultural enthusiasts alike.
