Meghalay- Cloud's own country

Image
About the place Meghalay means 'Abode of clouds'. It's among the seven sister north eastern state of India where human existence is known since Neolithic era. And that's why it's not just a place of traveller interest but also of archeological interest . It was part of assam province till 1972 after that khasi, garo and jaintia hills formed another state called 'meghalaya'. Southern part of the state shares boarder with other country bangladesh. It's the wettest place in India and many sources suggest even in the world! This state offers you many unexplored as well as regular majestic destinations.
