About the trip

Meghalaya is a small state in northeastern India. The word "Meghalaya" literally means "The Abode of Clouds" in Sanskrit. The name aptly describes the climatic phenomenon that brings torrential rain to its hills and forests, these same hills and mountains which are responsible for this climatic experience as they force rain clouds coming in from the Bay of Bengal to move up - resulting in heavy rain.
