Abode of the Clouds — living root bridges, clearest rivers, wettest place on earth
Meghalaya — the Abode of the Clouds — is India's most underrated destination and one of the most visually stunning places on earth. The state receives the highest rainfall on the planet (Mawsynram and Cherrapunji compete for the title of world's wettest place), which explains why everything is impossibly lush and green. The living root bridges of Nongriat — grown organically from rubber tree roots over hundreds of years — are a feat of human-nature cooperation found nowhere else in the world. The Dawki River is among Asia's clearest, where boats appear to float on air.
October to May is the best time — the skies clear after monsoon and the landscape is beautifully green. October to February is dry and pleasant. March to May is warm. June to September is monsoon season — the living root bridges are lush, waterfalls are at their peak, but travel can be challenging due to heavy rain.
Double-decker and single-decker bridges at Nongriat village — 3,000 steps down and back, worth every step
Transparent river at Dawki where boats seem to float above the riverbed — stunning photography location
Seven Sisters Falls, Nohkalikai Falls (340m — India's tallest), and Mawsmai Caves limestone caverns
Asia's cleanest village — community-maintained, tree houses, sky walk above the jungle canopy
Beautiful reservoir near Shillong for boating, water skiing, and scenic picnics at sunset
Scotland of the East — Ward's Lake, Don Bosco Museum, Police Bazaar, and vibrant cafe culture
