DESI BHARAT WITH MEGHALYA
It is not very often that we hear the name of a place and make an effort to find its meaning. Well, Meghalaya, a beautiful state tucked in North East India is definitely one of the very few places which left me in awe when I heard its the very first time and wondered what it would mean. An abode of clouds, it truly is, justifying the name that it carries. This state in North East India is a destination that every traveler must visit who is on a quest for scenic beauty as well as adventure(meghalaya tour packages).
This abode of clouds is a treasure in the North East, well known for its pristine waterfalls, winding roads, cleanest village in Asia and best of landscapes that you’d witness throughout your visit across the state. Meghalaya is a place where time freezes over crystal clear river waters and the heart skips a beat each time you witness a gorgeous waterfall gushing down mightily from sharp cliffs. A trip to Meghalaya will be one of your best experiences and worth your time.
The state is full of hidden spots and offbeat locations and to explore them thoroughly it would take almost a month. But not everyone can spare so much time out of their schedule. And thus, to help people plan their trip to Meghalaya in a short span while not missing out on the best of places in the state, I am chalking out a 7 day travel itinerary for Meghalaya in this blog.
