Laitlum Canyon ('end of hills' in Khasi) is best at sunrise before the mist burns off — arrive by 6 am. The Living Root Bridges near Cherrapunji (two-hour drive south) are one of the world's most extraordinary natural engineering feats: the Khasi people train the roots of rubber trees over decades to form living pedestrian bridges across ravines. The village of Mawlynnong near Dawki has been called 'Asia's cleanest village' and is immaculate.
Locals dine late — restaurants fill up after 9pm. Pickpockets are common on Las Ramblas.
🇮🇳 Meghalaya Fun Fact
Meghalaya receives the world's highest annual rainfall — Mawsynram village records an average of 11,871 mm per year (about 40 times London's annual rainfall). The state is governed by matrilineal societies (Khasi and Garo tribes) where lineage and property pass through the mother — one of the few functioning matrilineal societies in the world. 'Meghalaya' means 'abode of clouds' in Sanskrit.
🇪🇸 Barcelona Fun Fact
Gaudí's Sagrada Família has been under construction since 1882 and is still not finished.
