Famous for being the wettest place in the world, Mawsynram is one of the most mesmerizing villages located amidst the beautiful surroundings of nature. Mawsynram overtakes Cherrapunjee with a slight margin for being the wettest destination in India. With the drizzling rain and the lush green landscapes, this place is an ideal location for enjoying an escape from daily life. The ‘Maw’ in Mawsynram is derived from the Khasi word which means ‘stone’. This village is also famous for the gigantic formations of the stalagmite which resembles the shape of ‘Shivling’.
Tucked in a height of 1400 m above sea level, the place experiences powerful rains that the local villagers use thick grass to provide soundproofing to their homes in order to escape the thunderous shower.
