Meghalaya is a small but incredibly beautiful state in northeastern India. Its name means the Abode of Clouds in Sanskrit, and once you visit, you will understand exactly why. The state is covered with rolling green hills, deep gorges, thundering waterfalls, and some of the most unusual natural wonders you will find anywhere in India. Cherrapunji and Mawsynram, both located in Meghalaya, hold records for being among the wettest places on earth. The famous living root bridges of the Khasi Hills, grown over centuries by the local tribal communities, are unlike anything else in the world.
Meghalaya is home to three main tribal groups, the Khasi, Jaintia, and Garo people, each with their own distinct language, traditions, and festivals. The state capital Shillong is a lively hill town often called the Scotland of the East, known for its music culture, colonial architecture, and pleasant weather. Beyond Shillong, the state has much to offer including the crystal clear waters of Dawki River, the vast caves of Mawsmai, and the dense forests of Nokrek National Park.
