Overview
Meghalaya! It is bounded by the Indian state of Assam to the north and northeast and by Bangladesh to the south and southwest. The state capital is the hill town of Shillong, located in east-central Meghalaya. Meghalaya—Alaya (“abode”) and Megha (“of the clouds”) occupy a mountainous plateau of great scenic beauty. It became a state in 1972 and covers 22,429 square km of area.
Meghalaya is an upland area varies in elevation from 4,000 to 6,000 feet. The Garo Hills in the west rise abruptly from the Brahmaputra River valley and then merge with the Khasi Hills and Jaintia Hills, adjacent highland systems that form a single massif of tablelands separated by a series of eastward-trending ridges. The southern faces of the plateau, overlooking the Bangladesh lowlands, are particularly steep. Many rivers and streams flow out of the plateau, creating deep, narrow, steep-sided valleys.
The climate of Meghalaya is generally mild. In December the mean temperature at Shillong, Khasi Hills is about 10-20°C.
