I have visited Meghalaya multiple times over the years . It is extremely safe for women even at night backed by a strong matrilineal society. Its clean and even the road side dhabas are very cleanliness oriented. The food is amazing- veg and non-veg. The people are kind and helpful . There are many beautiful waterfalls, caves, hills to explore.

Meghalaya is JANNAT , it really has untouched beauty. You have to make some efforts in terms of trekking and walking to reach the places but once you reach there it is worth doing anything. I recommend everyone to visit soon before people destroy the charm and beauty of this place and help them to maintain the place please
