About Meghalaya

Meghalaya, swaddled amidst wraith-like mists is aptly called the abode of the clouds. It is one of India's prettiest and youngest states (the 21st), having split away from Assam in 1972. Inhabited by the Khasis, Jaintia and Garos, it is best known for the pretty hill station Shillong, which has been Meghalaya's First City for a long time. Christianity has been a compelling force amongst all three. Meghalaya borderlines with Assam
and Bangladesh.

Standing out amongst the other states, not just for its traditional and natural beauty, Meghalaya is also known for its unique matrilineal society, which governs lineage and ancestral inheritance through the female line.
