A Stone’s Throw from Bangladesh




View of Bangladesh (the flat area in the background) from Khoh Ramhah, Meghalaya

The state of Meghalaya lies just north of Bangladesh and is located atop a high plateau mostly flat at the top with deep gorges cut by the incessant rain on all sides and criss-crossing the state. Bangladesh is that flat expanse of low land hugging the Ganges Delta just beyond the plateau. The effect, Bangladesh’s all over the place, wherever you go you see …Bangladesh!! Especially in the Cherrapunji area which is just beyond the Bangladeshi border. So here’s some nice views of Cherrapunji and ...Bangladesh, what else?


Khoh Ramhah, the basket that became a huge rock - (some stingy bugger in ancient times tried to hog all the food in a huge weaved basket, he died and the Gods left it as a remembrance in the form of this rock, for the generations to come, or so the legend goes...)
