Why Meghalaya is a must-visit destination in Monsoon?

It’s the season when no Indian, irrespective to which state he/she belongs can deny the soul-filling combination of chai-pakoras. It’s the season when nature comes to life. It’s the season when peacocks dance outside their hideouts.

Guessed it yet? No?It’s the monsoons i.e. the time when this world looks a little more beautiful. And, I am sure you wouldn’t miss the chance to witness this charming beauty. There might be many places in our country that look heavenly during the downpours but none can beat the warmth of Meghalaya, the abode of clouds. Having places like Cherrapunji and Mawsynram which are considered to be two of the wettest places in the world, Meghalaya in monsoon is pure bliss. Chasing rains amidst the astonishing valleys and quaint villages is indeed a pleasure for adventure seekers.

Though Meghalaya leaves no stone unturned to stun its visitors all around the year, monsoons are special. During this time you get to see the waterfalls and lakes in full force. It feels as if the falls are singing a song of their own, depicting their happiness for every drop they are receiving. The whole scene seems so mesmerizing. Waterfalls are an integral part of Meghalaya tourism, hence must be visited when they are in their perfect shape. Giant falls with greenery in the backdrop and grey skies above, this is nothing short of something I’d call breathless. The Elephant Falls, Seven-Sisters fall, Nohkalikai Falls, and last but not the least Kynrem Falls create a splendid sight to behold!

As clouds take over the lush green valleys, the enthralling Khasi Hills overlooking the plains of neighboring Bangladesh is wrapped in a blanket of dense fog. The misty mornings here are something you shouldn’t miss. It’s a paradise for landscape lovers. You’ll come across views so surreal that it’ll take a few moments for you to realize that everything you see is real.Sitting atop the hill where cotton candy-like clouds are your companions, imagine, what experience would it be!

Meghalaya’s most favourite tourist destination, the Living Roots Bridge becomes more fascinating as it receives the downpours. During this season, the bridge is surrounded by fresh streams, flamboyant nature and rich wildlife. The rivers beneath these bridges are in full flow making it a legendary destination. This place is perfect for those who are photographers and nature lovers as one gets to see an entirely different face of nature. While the skies pour waters over Meghalaya, the Living Roots Bridge comes to life. Don’t miss this opportunity of having an unforgettable experience.
