How beautiful is the rain!
\nAfter the dust and heat,
\nIn the broad and fiery street,
\nIn the narrow lane,
\nHow beautiful is the rain!<\/em><\/strong>
\nBy H.W Longfellow<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ever wondered how it would be to have just one season, and that too the monsoons? Cherrapunji or Sohra as it was historically called, is a misty valley with sparkling rivers and swirling clouds; and is a perfect summer getaway, receiving 4600mm of annual rainfall. The abundance of rainfall results in exquisite flora and fauna, gorgeous limestone caves, the fast waterfalls and greenery all around that makes Cherrapunji a heavenly destination for tourists. Cherrapunji looks the best in the monsoon months with the heavy dark clouds kissing the Khasi hills and the deluge resulting in some spectacular waterfalls.<\/p>\n
