» When the Monsoon clouds arrive, the Hills get swathed by them and the rains pour down heavy. As the clouds clear, the receding rains, the bubbling milky white waterfalls, the impossibly green merry tropical rainforests swaying in joy, the cresendo of insects in their unstoppable celebration of the monsoon and the roar of the river deep down in the valley provide an unforgettable audio-visual delight to a nature lover.

» After travelling thousands of kms in a hurry, the Monsoon clouds sweep up the Khasi Hills and embrace the Hills as forlorn lovers. The sight as the clouds lift their cover to reveal the receding rains, the numerous milky white waterfalls that spring forth along the sides of the precipitous gorges, the deep green rain-forests as they sway in joy, the unstoppable chirping of the insects in celebration, the merry sounds of the birds in trees and the roar of the river way down in the valley is an unforgettable audio-visual delight for any nature lover.
