Meghalaya - Made up of Dreams


If your destination was to be made up of dreams it would certainly be Meghalaya. As unpredictable as she can be Meghalaya is a one of its kind of paradise.


Here wave after wave of lush mountains crash into the blurry horizon, making your heart skip a beat at her faultless beauty. From the infinite allure of the Laitlum Grand Canyon to the rebellious plunge of Krangsuri, Phe Phe and many similar falls into their bluish-green heart of the pool below; from the misty mornings of the sleepy villages situated in the heart of the very Khasi ranges to the enchanting sacred forest of Mawphlang; from the adventurous walk across the Living Root Bridge to the pebble strew crystal clear water depth of the Dawki River, Meghalaya will surely make sure you earn to go back to her again. Acres and acres of scenic wonders make Meghalaya a true ‘Scotland of the East’.


The rains here play hide and seek until soon it leaves the roads toasty dry with the sunrays lurking shyly from behind the grey clouds. Often the dark clouds suddenly come to a halt wondering whether to pour down on the greenery below while the sun on the other side of the valley challenges it to do so. That is the abode of clouds, this is Meghalaya for you.


In the mornings the fog from the mountainous pit rising like the smoke from a witch’s cauldron will not go unnoticed. These clouds will often accompany you on your journey around Meghalaya. And in the night? As the dark curtain is pulled over the sky; a whole new galaxy opens up right above your head. Gaze deep into that sky and try finding your very own star, for the stars here shine extra bright here just for you! Right below that sky will be the fairyland as one by one the cottages start to light up twinkling against the now-dark silhouette of the mountain.


Meghalaya’s beauty is limitless and timeless which will bind you to her forever. Your memory of the place will float like a dream even with your eyes closed, making you wonder if she is really real!
