SEASONS
Every month of the year in Cherrapunji is a season for a different reason. Here’s a little help to identify your reason:
May – October
For scenic beauty- mesmerising clouds, milky white waterfalls and lush green forests- and to experience monsoon, romance in the rain, bathe in the waterfalls, springs & mountain streams. Good season for photography, angling (Sept-Nov), study of insects, moths & butterflies.
November – February
For outdoor activities- nature treks, bird watching, river canyoning, geo-caching, rock climbing, botanical studies, camping outdoors, adventure caving, open air picnics, swimming in natural swimming pools.
March
First pre-monsoon showers- to admire nature eagerly awaiting the first rains & bursting forth in exhilaration after the showers.
April
To enjoy a grandstand view of tropical thunder storms accompanied by severe lightning & thunder as they approach the Khasi hills from Bangladesh plains and let loose their awesome fury.
