The wettest place on earth, more or less
Cherrapunji and Mawsynram are among the wettest places on the planet, and the monsoon months are when the region's waterfalls run full. The scenery is dramatic, but travel is harder.
Meghalaya in the monsoon suits flexible travellers who accept delays.
What the monsoon gives you
- Full waterfalls such as Nohkalikai and Seven Sisters.
- Green valleys and misty views.
- Lower crowds and prices.
What it takes away
- Clear views at Dawki, where the river is clearest in the dry season.
- Easy treks to the living root bridges, which become slippery.
- Reliable road schedules, since landslides can block routes.
How to plan
- Build in extra days.
- Stay in Shillong or Cherrapunji hotels with flexible cancellation.
- Wear grippy shoes and carry rain gear.
- Ask your agent about local weather alerts.
