Meghalaya, located in the northeastern region of India, is renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty and diverse cultural heritage. The name "Meghalaya" means "abode of clouds" in Sanskrit, reflecting its lush, mist-covered landscapes. The state is famous for its high rainfall, which contributes to its verdant forests, numerous waterfalls, and living root bridges, particularly in Cherrapunji and Mawsynram, two of the wettest places on Earth. Meghalaya is home to diverse indigenous tribes, notably the Khasi, Garo, and Jaintia, each with their unique traditions, festivals, and languages. The capital city, Shillong, often referred to as the "Scotland of the East," is known for its colonial architecture, vibrant music scene, and picturesque surroundings.
