Explore Meghalaya: "Explore a Wet & Wild Meghalaya!" For a detailed itinerary, please click here
The name “Meghalaya” comes from “Megh” which translates to “clouds” and “Alaya” which means “an abode”. True to its name, this abode of clouds, with its natural offerings - the rain, has given destinations in Meghalaya (Sohra and Mawsynram) the status, through multiple recognised records, of receiving the most amount of average rainfall in the world. This very rainfall, in many ways, over millions of years, has shaped the geology and topography of the state resulting in one of the most beautiful terrains one may come across in the world. A natural playground for the adventurer at heart - if you grew up in the villages of Meghalaya, no amusement park in all of the land would fascinate you as much anymore.
Highlights of the trip - From hidden waterfalls to natural pools fed by the gushing rain fed rivers, monsoon in Meghalaya is a season that should definitely be experienced by any nature lover willing to explore the rainiest region in the world.
