Meghalaya, which translates to ‘the abode of clouds’, is one of the most favourable tourist destinations in India. It is famous for valleys filled with mists, numerous lakes and renowned for its cave system, and dense forests that offer breathtaking beauty. Meghalaya is also famous for its sustainable ways of living, its unique living bridges, sacred forests and the people who follow the matrilineal system (wherein the youngest daughter of the household inherits the property from her parents and lineage is traced from the women). Meghalaya people belong to Garo, Khasi and Jaintia groups. Meghalaya, with its diversity, has many dance, music, festivals spread out through the year. Meghalaya boasts an excellent and pleasant climate all through the year, and clubbed with good roads it is the perfect must-do getaway.
