Meghalaya · Northeast India
Meghalaya
Living root bridges, waterfalls and the greenest air in India.
Why this destination
What Meghalaya is really like
Meghalaya is for travellers who want nature without the usual hill-station crowds. Cherrapunji, Shillong and the living root bridges are the highlights, but the real joy is in the drives and walks.
We plan for the rain — it is beautiful here, but the wrong season changes everything.
