Meghalaya is one of the north eastern states of India. Shillong is the capital of Meghalaya. Surrounded by the Indian state Assam, and the neighbouring country Bangladesh, it houses the Khasi, Jaintia and Garo hills. Pertaining to the structure of the hills and the climate of the region, clouds get trapped in Meghalaya and a lot of rainfall happens almost all through the year in certain areas. Thus the name “Meghalaya” which means “The abode of clouds” in Sanskrit. But there is so much more to Meghalaya than the clouds. Beautiful, dense and green meadows and forests, massive waterfalls, vast rivers and lakes with crystal clear water, mysterious caves, living root bridges and small beautiful villages that have well preserved their traditions and cultures, are a few to count on. In short, it’s like a hidden gem for those who love nature and it’s wonders.
