Meghalaya -The name means "the abode of clouds" in Sanskrit and it is exactly so. The state is bounded to the south by the Bangladeshi divisions of Mymensingh and Sylhet. During the British rule of India, the British imperial authorities nicknamed the place as "Scotland of the East".It is also called "Scotland of North East".This place is one of the most beautiful states in the North-East India. For Bengali Meghalaya is the place of "Sesher Kobita"-"The Last Poem".
Shillong-- the capital of Meghalaya. You can reach Shilong through Air else you can reach to Guwahati and from there bus/car is available. Assam State Transport Corporation (ASTC) and Meghalaya Transport Corporation (MTC) run buses from Guwahati to Shillong. By road it will take approx 3 hrs to reach . There are plenty numbers of hotels for stay. We stayed at hotel Pegasus. During the journey of Guwahati to Shillong, you can enjoy the beauty of hillock, greenery, mesmerizing sky and this is how Garo-Khasi- Jayantia hill region will welcome you.
How to reach :One can reach Shillong directly by air or via Guwahati and then can take cab to reach Shillong which will take approx 4 hr. Where to stay: There are many good options for accommodations . We stayed at Hotel Pegasus which charges Rs 1500/- per night with complementary breakfast facility.
The day we reached Shillong, as it was almost late evening , we had no other option than to visit local Police bazar at night. Next day, we visited wettest place on Earth- Cherrapunjee (Sohra). Meghalaya is the place of uncountable Falls and lush of greens. It's bit difficult to manage to see many places . We visited Nohkalikai Falls, Wah kaba falls, Seven Sisters Falls and Mawsmai Cave.
Though Cherrapunjee has uncountable waterfalls, we had to drop some of them in favour of the ones which leads us to Sohra--The wettest place on earth.
