Something for Every Season

Apart from the below info please make a note that Meghalaya’s weather remains unpredictable throughout the year.
Experiencing all seasons in a single day is a real possibility

Spring

Expect evenings to be a little nippy early on, especially in the higher altitudes. The highlands, become an oasis for travellers who want to escape the burning heat of the Indian plains. This period also sees its fair share of showers but expect a lot of sunny days

Monsoon

The famed waterfalls and rivers are in full flow during the legendary monsoons of Meghalaya, which fall in the summer season. This is also the season that gives Meghalaya the sobriquet – The Abode of Clouds.

Post Monsoon

The hills are alive during the post-monsoon months – there is always a bit of rain happening but as the clouds clear and the sun makes more frequent appearances, it is a good time to still catch the resplendent waterfalls and rivers and maybe go up close a little more.

Winter

Along with the post-monsoon, the winter season is the best time for the adventure seekers to venture into Meghalaya’s hinterland. A few places experience sub-zero temperatures in the early mornings and thick frost often envelops the central highlands
