Cherrapunjee - चेर्रपुन्जी


Cherrapunjee is well known to everyone as the place where it rains the most in the world. But what is not well known is that it is a very beautiful place with green hills and many waterfalls. I would personally put it as one of the most beautiful places in the lower regions of the north east. But today Cherrapunjee is no longer the place where the precipitation is the highest - as the credit has now gone to a near by place called Mawsynram.
