Photography Cherrapunjee
is one of the scenically blessed places around the world. The Khasi Hills abruptly
erupts out of the flat plains of Bangladesh deflecting the uninterrupted flow
of the Indian Summer Monsoon causing record downpours along the southern fringes
of the near vertical south Khasi Hills. The low flying fluffy monsoon clouds are
swept over the hills and channeled through the deep valleys creating beautiful
sceneries that will thrill any nature photographer. The monsoon clouds embracing
the hills and uncovering the beauty of the freshly washed rainforests and the
numerous throbbing silvery white waterfalls will give you many enchanting opportunities
to capture the unrivalled beauty of nature with your camera honed by your picture
composing skills. The heavy downpours give birth to numerous streams and rivers
that leap off these near perpendicular hills in free abandon in a time stopping
motion. The waterfalls become very beautiful to watch and can be captured in different
states, while in spate, in full flow, as they thin out to normal flow after lapse
of time from the rain event. The rivers and streams provide excellent photo ops.
The forests are populated by many varied species of plant life, animal and insect
lives. If you wish to photograph our butterflies and moths we have perhaps a hundred
or more varieties of both. We have birds that are typical to these places. Since
these birds are shy of humans, extra effort is required to get them photographed. |
