While one is the wettest place in the world, the other one, its close neighbour Cherrapunjee follows right behind on the list. In places where rains have created a way of life, a vacation to these destinations will make you relive your monsoon fantasy. The weather in Mawsynram and Cherrapunjee remains pleasant throughout the year but monsoon still remains the masses’ personal favourite, when it comes to paying these places a visit. The landscape becomes magically misty with all shades popping out in the lush greenery. The sensation of the symphonies created by the falling raindrops and finding yourself surrounded by magnificent valleys- Cherrapunjee and Mawsynram in monsoon will transfer you to another realm.
Just falling behind its neighbour Mawsynram as the second wettest place on Earth, Cherrapunjee can be accessed by National Highway 6. If you are travelling via your own vehicle, you can reach Cherrapunjee in about 3 hours or so from Guwahati, the gateway city to North East India. Unfortunately, there is no direct public transport from Guwahati to Cherrapunjee, hence you will have to travel to Shillong first.
