Any time of the year is the right time to visit Meghalaya. Often likened to Scotland for its topography, scenic beauty and vegetation, it presents a panorama of lush, rolling hills; heather-covered slopes; breathtakingly beautiful waterfalls; mountain springs; moving mists; silent lakes, and a multitude of flora and fauna, including rare and unique species.

Even the coldest winter has a touch of spring, and even the monsoon months are a Chlaroscuro of dark, rain-laden clouds and bright sunshine. Its climate makes Meghalaya that rare hill-resort country that is a pleasure to visit round the year, even at the dead of winter.
