Meghalaya is called the abode of the clouds and it falls under the richest bio diversity areas in the world. It is best known for the pretty hill stations Shillong, which has been Meghalaya's First city for a longtime.
The hill station shillong is a convenient base for exploring Meghalaya. There are many tourists attractions through out the state. Among them CHERRAPUNJEE is renowned for being the wettest place on earth. It is the only place to witness rainy season 365 days a year. (In our school days, this is a definite question in our Geography paper)
Cherrapunjee is 54 Km from Shillong. The place is impressive with waterfalls and the deep gorges. The stunning views of the plains of Bangladesh are visible. Cheerapunjee's oranges and honey are famous and are available at sohra market.
Nohsngithiang Falls, Dainthein Falls, Nohkailikal Falls and many smaller falls are all the Nature's best and make sure to add it in the itinerary.
Cherrapunjee is also famous for its living root bridges.50 people can walk upon it at a time and it offers a unique experience and joy.
Mawsynram, 55 km near Cherrapunjee, is the wettest place on earth. It is also reputed for its stalagmite and stalactite caves.
How interesting! The root bridges are so cool!! Would love to visit this place some day. I have a friend from Shillong who often talks about the purity of the water there. They drink right from the source.
