Home Meghalaya
Meghalaya, aptly known as “Abode of Clouds” (from Sanskrit: Megh – cloud, Alaya – abode), is a captivating northeastern Indian state with Shillong as its scenic capital—the "Scotland of the East." Renowned for its rolling hills draped in mist, lush rainforests, dramatic waterfalls, crystal-clear rivers, deep caves, and the unique bio-engineered living root bridges crafted by the Khasi tribes, it is one of the wettest places on Earth and a paradise for eco-adventurers. Globally celebrated for sustainable indigenous practices, vibrant matrilineal culture, traditional music and dances like Wangala, flavorful pork delicacies and bamboo shoots cuisine, and experiences such as trekking to double-decker root bridges, boating on transparent Umngot River, exploring ancient caves in Krem Liat Prah, and witnessing the pristine beauty of Asia's cleanest village Mawlynnong, Meghalaya enchants with its serene landscapes, rich biodiversity, and warm tribal hospitality.
