Meghalaya, known as the “Abode of Clouds,” is a northeastern Indian state. Shillong is its capital.

Geography and Tourism

Meghalaya’s rolling hills, caves, and waterfalls like Nohkalikai make it a nature lover’s paradise. Its wet climate supports lush forests and biodiversity.

Culture and Tribes

The Khasi, Garo, and Jaintia tribes dominate, with festivals like Shad Suk Mynsiem. Khasi and Garo languages are spoken, and cuisine includes jadoh, a rice-meat dish.

Economy and Heritage

Tourism, agriculture, and coal mining drive the economy. Sacred groves and living root bridges, like those in Cherrapunji, are unique cultural landmarks.
