Overview
Known as the wettest place in the world, the mesmerizing village of Mawsynram is a nature lover's delight and the perfect destination for a weekend trip. Mawsynram beats Cherrapunjee by a slight margin in being the wettest place in India.
The 'Maw' in Mawsynram is a Khasi word meaning 'stone'. It symbolizes the unique megaliths unearthed in the Khasi Hill area. The village is well known for its huge formation of a stalagmite, which takes the shape of a 'Shivling'. Located in the East Khasi Hill district of Meghalaya, Mawsynram is 1400 m above sea level. The rains are so powerful in Mawsynram that the local villagers have to make use of thick grass to sound-proof their homes from the thunderous rain.
Apart from rains, Mawsynram is also known for its lush green vegetation, floating clouds, roaring waterfalls, and colourful orchids. Mawjymbuin Cave, Mawlyngbna Village, and Jakrem are some of the top places to visit in Mawsynram. Also, Mawsynram tourism is known for the secretly placed caves and the adventure sports activities.
