Swaddled amidst wraith-like
a mist is aptly called the abode of the clouds. It is one
of India’s prettiest and youngest states having split
away from Assam in 1972. Inhabited by the Khasis, Jaintia
and Garos, it is best known for the pretty hill station Shillong,
which has been Meghalaya’s first city for a long time.
Standing out amongst the other states, not just for its traditional
and natural beauty, Meghalaya is also known for its unique

For centuries now, Meghalaya’s

superlative natural setting. For the discerning holiday-maker,
nothing could be more enticing…….
