“Abode of the Clouds: Living root bridges, crystal rivers, and roaring falls.”
A Landscape Beyond the Expected
Cradled in the northeastern hills of India, Meghalaya ("The Abode of the Clouds") is an emerald realm of dramatic limestone gorges, thunderous plunges like Nohkalikai Falls, century-old bio-engineered living root bridges in Cherrapunji, and the impossibly transparent waters of the Umngot River in Dawki.
