Meghalaya, the abode of the clouds, is one of India's most beautiful states. From the pine-covered hills of Shillong to the living root bridges of Cherrapunjee and the crystal waters of Dawki, this is a land of waterfalls, caves, clean villages and warm Khasi culture.
Shillong, the capital, is the perfect base. Known as the Scotland of the East, it offers lakes, viewpoints, markets and cafes, all within easy reach of Apsara Guest House. Beyond the town, day trips lead to some of the most spectacular scenery in the country.
