The picturesque town of Mawsynram, which is 61 kilometres south of Shillong and is known as the wettest place on earth, is a haven for nature lovers and an ideal weekend getaway location. Mawsynram narrowly defeats Cherrapunjee to claim the title of India’s wettest location. The word “Maw” in Mawsynram means “stone” in Khasi. It represents the distinctive megaliths discovered in the Khasi Hill region. The town is well known for its enormous stalagmite formation that resembles a “Shivling.” Mawsynram, a town in Meghalaya’s East Khasi Hill district, lies 1400 metres above sea level. Mawsynram’s residents must use thick grass to soundproof their homes from the violent rain because the storms are so strong there. In Mawsynram, photographers and those who enjoy the outdoors gather frequently. It is a really interesting place because of the gorgeous waterfalls and the sloping foliage. A major draw to the Mawjymbuin Caves is the stalagmite formations that have formed over the years, including a large Shivalinga and the Sympers rock, a dome-shaped rock perched on top of the cave.
