Tucked away in Northeast India, Meghalaya feels like a world untouched by rush and routine. Known as the “Abode of Clouds,” this state is where mist rolls over emerald hills, waterfalls tumble endlessly, and nature feels deeply alive.
Meghalaya isn’t loud or flashy — it’s poetic. It’s the kind of place where you breathe deeper, walk slower, and feel more present.
At Iris Global Vacations & Events, we design Meghalaya journeys for travelers who crave raw beauty, authentic culture, and soul-refreshing experiences.
