Meghalaya, meaning "Abode of the Clouds", is one of the most breathtaking destinations in Northeast India. Known for receiving some of the highest rainfall on Earth, the state is a paradise of misty mountains, thundering waterfalls, serene lakes, and ancient living root bridges crafted by the Khasi tribes over hundreds of years. Cherrapunjee (Sohra) and Mawsynram hold the world records for highest annual rainfall, creating a landscape draped in perpetual green. The state is home to three indigenous tribal communities — the Khasis, Garos and Jaintias — each with a rich matrilineal culture, unique festivals and vibrant handicrafts. Dawki's Umngot River, with its glass-clear waters, and the perfectly manicured village of Mawlynnong — Asia's Cleanest Village — are icons of Meghalaya's natural and cultural wonder.

Capital city

Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya, is often called the "Scotland of the East" for its rolling pine-clad hills, cool weather and colonial-era architecture. Located at an elevation of 1,496 metres, it is a thriving cultural hub with vibrant music, cafes, waterfalls and the picturesque Umiam Lake at its doorstep.
