At The Epic Routes, we think that some of the best travel experiences arise from the unearthing of hidden gems inside the land. Meghalaya has carved a niche as the 'Abode of Clouds.' There is pretty much treasure in natural beauty, cultural richness, and adventure unfolded here.

Must Visit Waterfalls in Meghalaya

Meghalaya is a land of waterfalls, each having a story to tell. Nohkalikai Falls is the tallest plunge waterfall in India; its height of over 1,100 feet never fails to astound. The Seven Sisters Falls, considered Nohsngithiang Falls, is a breathtaking diversion during the monsoons as it cascades down in seven streams. Dainthlen Falls is also a treasure with local tales and awe-inspiring views.

Unique Living Root Bridges

These living root bridges of Meghalaya are quite a wonder both architectural and ecological. Made out of the aerial roots of rubber trees, these bridges are not only usable but also sustainable. The double-decker living root bridge, situated in Nongriat, should never be missed. Though steeply downhill, the trek to this marvel is well worth it, with scenic views and an opportunity to indulge in Khasi culture on the way.

Caves: Nature's Masterpieces in Meghalaya

Housing some of the most elaborate and designed cave systems in the country, Meghalaya is a spelunker's paradise. Mawsmai Caves are frequented by people since they are more accessible, containing marvellous limestone formations. The Siju and Liat Prah caves, which are among the longest in India, are suited for the more adventurous—if they strengthen the spirit enough to explore them. So these caves are nature's artistic brilliance by all standards.

Local Culture and Cuisine

Besides its natural splendor, Meghalaya raves you with its magnificent tapestry of culture. Unique traditions and foods belong to each one of them- the Khasi, Jaintia, and Garo tribes. Treat yourself to dishes such as Jadoh (rice with meat) and Tungrymbai (fermented soybean), or discover homemade crafts at the local markets. 

At The Epic Routes, we specialize in customizing Meghalaya itineraries to help you savor the natural beauty, embrace the culture, and partake in opportunities for adventure like never before.
