Map your way past grove-riddled pathways, meandering streamlets, mystical dens, cloudy terrains, and endless stairways nestled in Meghalaya’s crevices
UNBRIDLED MYSTIQUE
Fringed by mountains, mighty waterfalls, and enigmatic lairs, Meghalaya, alias Abode of Clouds, transcends a mere embodiment of nature, and thrusts you into a dimension defined by otherworldly landscapes. Characterised by a streak of tradition, a dash of hospitality, and a trove of biodiversity, the state fosters many wonders within its bounds. While a series of destinations are rooted in rural pockets, Meghalaya is also home to a modern-era undertone and mediates between the two in fitting proportions. Head to the east’s dense forests, brimming markets, and up and coming nightlife, and witness it all unfold.

Post-COVID Travel

Flanked by Assam to the north and the east, and bound by Bangladeshi divisions to the south and the west, Meghalaya makes for an ideal destination amid this pandemic. A low-density region, it isn’t saturated with people and facilitates social distancing without any disruption. Apart from majoring in nature-oriented expeditions, and offering tourists an opportunity to revel in solitude, the north-eastern state also extends its scope to adventure-centred activities.

Waterfalls and Lakes

Dovetailing into gushing waters, Meghalaya’s lakes and waterfalls function as a portal to utopia and acquaint travellers with unparalleled views. Brimming with a multitude of choices, the state is peppered with the likes of Krang Shuri, Dainthlen, Noh Ka Likai, Elephant and Weinia Falls.
