Visited in August 2017
We all have been listening about Cherrapunji from our childhood as the wettest place on planet earth. Although the place is now the second rainiest place but still has the same charm and beauty I feel as I was very much welcomed by rain and it continued till my stay in Cherrapunji, sometimes heavy drops and sometimes just sprinkles.
The place is naturally beautiful and it becomes more charming in monsoon due to various waterfalls even on your way due to which we even enjoyed the road trip in this small but famous town of Cherrapunji.
Yes sometimes rains do affect our other plans but monsoon is what completes Cherrapunji.

Best time to visit Cherrapunji
This was the biggest question when I was planning to visit the place in August and after some internet surfing I got my answer and now after visiting the place in August I can share my personal experience, however I can’t comment on visiting the place in other months.
Yes monsoon do restricts or effects travel experience, same happened with us although it didn’t effected our experience fully as we were lucky enough to reach Nohkalikai waterfall just 4-5 minutes as after that the place was covered with fog due to which the waterfall was not visible.
Also caving is risky during monsoon and Cherrapunji is famous for waterfalls, caves and double decker living root bridge. Despite of all these aspect Cherrapunji definitely deserves a visit in August as the place looks beautiful in monsoon.
