Meghalaya - Abode of Clouds

Meghalaya, known as the "abode of clouds," is a North-Eastern Indian state, often hailed as a haven for nature enthusiasts. Nestled against the backdrop of the Himalayan Mountains, this state boasts breathtaking landscapes, including lush green valleys, enchanting lakes, mesmerizing waterfalls, and mysterious caves, all set against a serene backdrop. Over the years, Meghalaya has attracted visitors from all corners of the globe, drawn to its picturesque beauty and tranquil ambiance. For an even more enriching experience, consider exploring the Meghalaya tour package, which combines the wonders of two incredible regions into one unforgettable journey.

Why is Meghalaya called abode of clouds?


1. Meghalaya offers an ideal environment for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of life.

2. It has been called the Scotland of the East, with its beautiful location and plenty of opportunities for adventure.

3. Shillong is a city in the Indian state of Meghalaya. The capital of Meghalaya, it is situated about 95 kilometres from Guwahati, India's largest city in the neighbouring state of Assam. The British imperialists discovered this unexplored land and it was given the name of Shillong.

4. Meghalaya is a self-sufficient state in Northeast India. It has the best of vacations to offer, not only with beautiful natural landscapes but also with its rich culture and heritage.

5. Start an exciting adventure with Capture A Trip. Meghalaya is a beautiful place in India that's not very well-known yet. We organize trips to take you to this land of tall mountains and peaceful valleys. Even though some places close at night, Meghalaya is always happy to welcome visitors. You can experience the wonder of Meghalaya backpacking trips and carefully planned itineraries.

6. If you're looking for a great time with friends, family, or solo, Shillong is the perfect spot. There's no shortage of cultural attractions like the Shillong Carnival, where you can have fun shopping for souvenirs and enjoy delicious food. If you're looking for an adventure-filled experience, try kayaking on the Umiam Lake, which is also great for fishing.

7. If you're looking for a walk on the wild side, root bridges are for you. The Living Root Bridges of Meghalaya are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These bridges only last as long as the roots they're made from - usually 2-3 years or less. That's why they're living root bridges!

8. The cleanest village in Asia is now the cleanest village in the world. Mawlynnong, located at a distance of 90 kilometres from Shillong, is the pride of Meghalaya and Asia. Tourists love to visit this beautiful village and be amazed by how clean and peaceful it is. The villagers take collective efforts to keep the surroundings of the village extremely clean.

For those who like ancient places, meghalaya trip package has many places that are really worth visiting. For history buffs, there are numerous monuments and relics that show what life was like in this region in the olden days.
