Best Time to Visit Meghalaya: Season-by-Season Travel Guide

Meghalaya, the 'Abode of Clouds', is a fantasy landscape that changes dramatically with seasons. Knowing when to visit ensures you catch its waterfalls and rivers at their best.

Winter (October to February): The most popular period for sightseeing. Temperatures stay mild (10°C–22°C), Dawki's Umngot River is transparently clear, and root bridge treks in Nongriat are pleasant.

Monsoon (June to September): Heavy rains transform Cherrapunji into a waterfall paradise. Nohkalikai and Wei Sawdong roar with incredible volume.

Spring (March to May): Great for cave explorations in Mawsmai and Arwah before rains begin.
