CHERRAPUNJI – LAND OF RAIN
High above foggy valleys and frothing waterways, tucked away in twirling mists and roosted on a slope, lies Cherrapunji (4,500 feet). This is a dazzling area and the year-round rain earned Cherrapunji pined for section long prior into the Guinness Book of World Records as the wettest place on earth, where the precipitation can be recorded in feet as opposed to in millimeters.
Living Root Bridges
Another must visit in Meghalaya are its incredibly famous living root spans, made by lacing elastic fig tree roots, and enabling them to develop and end up more grounded after some time.
The extensions take near 15 to 20 years to reinforce, and a portion of the most grounded ones are over a 100 years of age. While there are a few of these everywhere throughout the Khasi and Jaintia slopes, the most seasoned lies near Cherrapunji town, and must be come to by foot. An all the more effectively open scaffold – pretty much a 15-minute trek – is close Mawlynnong, Asia's cleanest town.
