We highly recommend visiting the farms of Lakadong Turmeric, for which Meghalaya is famous worldwide. It is also known as the miracle spice of Meghalaya, which grows at the foothills of the West Jaintia hills. The miracle curcumin content grown by local farmers is 7% of the world-famous turmeric powder.

However, all the bridges are pretty gorgeous, but the most wonderful and oldest one is Double-Decker Bridge, which is around 180 years old. Only the double-decker bridge contains two levels. The second level was constructed by the Khasi local farmers and people when once the water reached the first level. The extraordinary masterpiece can be found only in Meghalaya.
 

Enjoy Water Sports at Umiam Lake

Do you love adventures? If yes, then never forget to enjoy a tour of 10 square kilometers longer Umiam Lake.

The mysterious siju cave is something that you must add to your list of places to visit in Meghalaya.
 

Have Lunch at Trattoria

Your Meghalaya trip is incomplete if you haven’t tasted the local foods made with the Indian spices locally grown. However, the entire region serves heavenly food items, but we highly recommend tasting the tastiest dishes of the popular Trattoria restaurant situated in the Khasi village. Some of the recommended dishes of the popular restaurant are Jakhaw Khasi, Dohnud, Dohjam, Doho Shain, Doh Khelia, Dohokjat, and Tungtap.
 

Know the Best Definition of Nature Beauty at Elephant Falls

The name. Elephant Falls is given by the British Government, as locals still call it “Ka Kshaid Lai Pateng,” which means three-step fall. The gorgeous waterfall is situated in the middle of a verdant forest of Shilong, the capital city of Meghalaya. The lush green trees surround the first fall out of three. The second one is not very popular as it is almost similar to normal waterfalls. The third one is the largest and more popular than the other two, where you can find the actual reason behind the name Elephant falls. A big stone in the shape of an Elephant is the site where you won’t get bored of taking hundreds of pictures. Monsoon is the perfect season to explore the place.
