Known as the "abode of the clouds", Meghalaya surprises you with its splendid secrets.
The drive from Shillong to Cherrapunji is a short one but the frequent thunderstorms
can slow you down. On your way, via Sohra some stunning pit stops will make the ride
even longer. Riding along the SH5, the busy roads of Shillong soon give way to neverending farms on both sides. While the picturesque landscapes, dotted with Khasi hills
and valleys, and unparalleled scenic beauty give you company on your way, the warm
smiles of Khasi people welcome you to Cherrapunji. If you are one who likes to chase
the thick monsoon clouds and the sound of raindrops on your window makes you
happy, this drive is just for you.
