Cherrapunji (Sohra), Meghalayarain-travel

Vertical drops of water everywhere you look. The Nohkalikai Falls, India's tallest plunge waterfall, looks its most dramatic with a massive plume of mist. You'll walk through clouds on the 'Seven Sisters' cliffs and explore limestone caves where the sound of dripping water creates a haunting melody. The 'Living Root Bridges' are at their most resilient, glowing in the rain-washed forest.

• Always carry a high-quality raincoat or a sturdy umbrella.
• Wear non-slip hiking boots; the limestone and mossy paths are very slippery.
• Try the local smoked pork and Jadoh rice to keep warm.
