With pristine beauty Cherrapunji is situated high above the misty valleyson East Khasi Hills in the state of Meghalaya "abode of clouds". Situated at a height of 4500ft, hidden under the rolling clouds, foaming rivers and mystical ambience, Cherrapunji, is a adorning beauty bound to keep its lovely impression on every tourist mind. It has the dubious distinction of being the wettest place of earth by sheer virtue of the amount of rainfall it receives every year.
