Meghalaya – Where the Clouds Descend to Earth

-

If you’re planning a Meghalaya trip, there’s something you must know-this land is not just about destinations, it’s about emotions. Meghalaya, known as the “Abode of Clouds”, is one of the most enchanting places to visit in India. From waterfalls of Cherrapunji, to the Living Root Bridges of Nongriat, and the crystal waters of Dawki, every corner of this state feels like a cinematic scene.


Shillong – The Soul of Meghalaya.


Start your Meghalaya itinerary in Shillong, the capital city. Known as the Scotland of the East, Shillong offers music-filled cafés, pine-covered hills, and scenic viewpoints. For travelers looking for culture, food, and local markets, Shillong is the perfect beginning.


Cherrapunji & Mawsynram – Land of Rain and Waterfalls.


When people ask, “What is Meghalaya famous for?”, the answer is always its rain and waterfalls. Cherrapunji and Mawsynram are the wettest places on earth, home to iconic waterfalls like Nohkalikai and Seven Sisters. Visiting them feels like stepping inside nature’s orchestra.


The Living Root Bridges – A Must in Your Meghalaya Trip.


One of the best things to do in Meghalaya is trekking to the Living Root Bridges in Nongriat. These bridges, grown by the Khasi tribes using ancient techniques, are not only strong but alive. A double-decker root bridge here is one of Meghalaya’s most iconic attractions.


Dawki – Crystal Clear River Experience.


No Meghalaya trip guide is complete without Dawki. The Umngot River, with its glass-like water, makes boats look like they’re floating in the air. This magical experience is one of the top places to visit in Meghalaya for photographers and nature lovers.


Mawlynnong – Asia’s Cleanest Village.


If you are looking for hidden gems, Mawlynnong should be in your Meghalaya travel itinerary. Awarded as the Cleanest Village in Asia, it shows how deeply the Khasi community respects nature.


Why You Must Visit Meghalaya.


A Meghalaya trip is not just about sightseeing. It’s about experiencing rain that sings, rivers that shine like glass, and villages that teach you harmony with nature. Whether you are planning a Meghalaya itinerary for 5 days or 7 days, this land will stay with you forever.

Doodhpathri - Kashmir ke us kone mein, jahan khamoshi bhi geet gaati hai

 Kabhi socha hai... duniya ki bheed se nikal kar, kisi aise raaste par chalne ki koshish karien jahan sirf hara rang ho. Jahan pedon ke jhund apne baahon mein le lein, aur jahan hawa bhi aapka naam le kar guzar jaaye. Doodhpathri , Kashmir ka ek chhupa hua jannat, wahi jagah hai – jahan zindagi ruk sakti hai, aur waqt apne paon se chalne lagta hai ... Yeh jagah hai... ek kahaani jaisi Kashmir ke Budgam district mein chhupa hua yeh valley, ek khula canvas hai. Doodh jaisi safed dhund , hara bhara ghaas ka farsh , aur deodar ke pedon ka guard of honour – har mod par ek nayi nazm likhi ja sakti hai.   Barish ki ek boond yahan sargam lagti hai. Yeh koi tourist spot nahi hai – yeh ek feeling hai. Jab badal sir ke upar se guzarte hain, aur zameen se khushboo uthti hai – tab samajh aata hai ki safar sirf manzil tak pahuchna nahi hota, balki jeena hota hai.   Safar ka ek tukda: Budgam se Doodhpathri. Srinagar se lagbhag 45 km ke drive ke baad, jab aap Doodhpathri ke paas pahuc...

Ganga Kinare Waqt Tham Sa Gaya

-
  🌿 SafarNama: Ek Akele Musafir ki Rishikesh Diary "Kuch safar manzil ke liye hote hain, aur kuch apne aap se milne ke liye." Solo travel ka khayal hamesha se mere dil ke kareeb tha. Ek din bas itna socha — “Ab aur intezaar nahi.” Ek raat Delhi ki bheed se thak kar, maine apna chhota sa backpack uthaya aur nikal pada — Rishikesh ki taraf. 🚂 Safar ki Shuruaat Subah ki pehli kirnon ke saath, train ne mujhe Haridwar tak chhoda. Wahan se ek shared auto pakad kar, main Rishikesh pahucha. Ganga ki thandi hawa ne jaise mera swaagat kiya. Pehli baar mehsoos hua ki shor ke baahar bhi ek zindagi hoti hai — khamosh, lekin puri tarah zinda. 🕉️ Lakshman Jhula aur Shaant Ghat Rishikesh pahunchte hi sabse pehle main gaya Lakshman Jhula — jahan se Ganga ka nazara seedha dil ko chhoo jaata hai. Fir main chala gaya Parmarth Niketan Ghat , jahan shaam ki Ganga Aarti ne mujhe andar se hilaa diya. Akele baith kar, maine apne aap se ek arsa baad baat ki. Us shaam, bina kisi network ke, ...

धुंध के पार – दुधसागर फॉल्स ट्रेन ट्रिप | Monsoon Travel Blog India

-
 रात के 11 बज रहे थे।   मुंबई CSMT स्टेशन पर हल्की‑फुल्की बारिश हो रही थी, और प्लेटफॉर्म पर वो पुरानी सी गूंज — जैसे हर सफ़र की शुरुआत से पहले होती है।   हम चार दोस्त, ज्यादा कुछ सोचे बिना Konkan Kanya Express में चढ़ गए — मंज़िल थी: दुधसागर फॉल्स। ट्रेन ने जैसे ही शहर छोड़ा, सब शांत हो गया।   खिड़की के बाहर बारिश की बूँदें दौड़ रही थीं, और अंदर — हर कोई अपने–अपने ख्यालों में खोया हुआ। रात का वो हिस्सा, जब सब सो रहे होते हैं और सिर्फ़ ट्रेन की आवाज़ साथ देती है, वो बहुत खास होता है।   हमने खिड़की से बाहर देखा — काला आसमान, भीगी पटरियाँ और हर स्टेशन पर ठहरी हुई नींद। **सुबह 4:12 — पहली झलक** Castle Rock स्टेशन के बाद सब चुप थे।   हमें पता था — बस एक टनल और, फिर सामने होगा दुधसागर जलप्रपात। और फिर — जैसे ही ट्रेन अंधेरे से बाहर आई, सामने था एक ज़िंदा सपना।   सफेद पानी की मोटी धार, पहाड़ से गिरती हुई, और हम ठीक उसके सामने पुल पर। बिना कुछ कहे सब बस खामोश होकर खिड़की से चिपक गए। > वो झरना नहीं था, जैसे किसी ने आसमान को धरती...
