overview
A wonderland also known as the ‘Abode of Clouds’ located in the northeastern part of India, Meghalaya is home to some of the world’s most diverse ecosystems. Meghalaya offers you sights of heart thumping cliffs, extravagant rivers and much more. It provides you a chance to experience the colonial influence in Shillong (capital of Meghalaya), visit Asia’s cleanest village Mawlynnong or explore the Living Double-Decker Root Bridge. Teeming valleys and lush green sheets of land to lakes and refreshing waterfalls, this amazing state has so much for every kind of wanderlust soul. This gem of Northeast India is also known for its richest biodiversity areas in the world. A perfect vacay in nature’s lap, Meghalaya lies comfortably between Bangladesh in the South and Brahmaputra valley in the North.
