Situated in the hills of the eastern sub-Himalayas, Meghalaya is one of the most beautiful states of India. In Sanskrit, Meghalaya translates into 'abode of clouds' and it is rightfully called so. Claimed to be one of the wettest places on the earth, Meghalaya sees the hide and seek played between the sun and rains. Meghalaya, the home of clouds, is a mystical place where you get the chance to literally move through the clouds. Shillong also known as "Scotland of the East" is the capital city of the state of Meghalaya and is one of the most beautiful hill stations of East India. Shillong has a lot of leftover British colonial influence that is evident from the plentiful British architecture. Travelling through beautiful pine trees and listening to whistles of wind in will remind you of your favourite hill station stories. The frequent sprinkling rains and rainbows of Meghalaya will give you the feeling of far western lands of England and Scotland.
