Meghalaya, known for its clouds and rainfall, is a tiny state in northeastern India, sandwiched between Assam and Bangladesh. Also known as the “Abode of Clouds," the state has plenty to offer an avid traveler.

The undulating mountains, living root bridges, spectacular crystal-clear lakes, meandering rivers, dense verdant forests, gorgeous waterfalls, quaint caves, exotic flora and fauna—all of these make Meghalaya look like it's straight out of a fairy tale. Meghalaya is dotted with copious waterfalls, some gushing from great heights and some gurgling gently over moss-green rocks. Sit by the plunge nature pool of the gigantic waterfall and breathe in the ethereal ambiance of the environment.

We take you to some of the untouched, less explored, and seriously fascinating territories that will take your breath away.

Azerbaijan is an intriguing nation that, like its Caucasian neighbors, is not really of either Europe or Asia, having absorbed elements of each while remaining unique. With its blazing hillsides, ancient temples, and the grandeur of Baku, this fascinating tiny country is both unusual and enigmatic. Our 8-day trip starts in Baku, the capital, which is an oddly pleasing blend of Soviet design, historic architecture, and contemporary construction.

Beyond the contemporary splendor of this metropolis is an entirely distinct nation. Highways take the place of high-rises, and every few kilometers, the landscape changes.

From the Caucasus Mountains to the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan provides travelers with amazing travel experiences. At the end of this trip, you’ll want to see more of Azerbaijan.
