Meghalaya

When you are in Shillong (you may read Getaway To Meghalaya - The Abode Of The Clouds for your reference) you must visit Cherrapunji, which is just 56 km from Shillong. A meandering road would take you to Sohora. The highest rainfall of the world is recorded in a called Maushinrum. There is a Ram Krishna Mission set up by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime minister of independent India, in 1952. You would constantly hear the roaring waters of Nohkali falls while you are in an around Cherrapunji.

Shillong, also referred to as the ‘Scotland of the East’ is the capital city of Meghalaya. Meghalaya is one of the seven states situated in the eastern parts of India known as seven sisters. If translated literally, Meghalaya means ‘Abode of the Clouds’. Situated at a height of 1520 metres, this picturesque land is about 3-hrs drive from Guwahati and is blessed with a pleasant climate throughout the year. The city is startlingly clean and reflects Victorian influence.
