Summer is one of the best seasons to enjoy the hills of Meghalaya before the onset of the monsoon. The months from April to June are considered summertime here. With temperatures seldom going above 25⁰C, it provides an ideal retreat from the scorching heat of the typical Indian summer experienced in the plains. 

Here are a few suggestions for outdoor activities that you can enjoy alone or with family.
