Northeast India, a region in the foothills of the mighty Himalayas, has unparalleled natural beauty and unique indigenous cultures. I’ve spent a lot of time in Meghalaya, the “Abode of Clouds,” where my husband grew up. Misty hills, cascading waterfalls, and living root bridges create a magical landscape, especially during the monsoons.
Some of the oldest caves in the world are in the area and this region is a perfect offbeat travel destination in India.
Here’s my personal recommendations for planning your adventure in this enchanting corner of India! If you’d like my help planning a custom itinerary, reach out here.
