Meghalaya in June 2027: Weather, Places to Visit & Travel Tips

Good for waterfalls and greenery if you're flexible: the monsoon arrives, the falls fill up and the crowds thin out.

The monsoon reaches Meghalaya in early June. Rain comes in bursts rather than all day at first, so June is greener and cheaper than May without the relentless downpours of July and August. Cherrapunji's waterfalls grow by the week, cloud rolls through the valleys, and summer-holiday crowds leave by the middle of the month. The trade-off is fog at viewpoints, slippery trails and muddy water at Dawki.

Questions about Meghalaya in June

Is June a good time to visit Meghalaya?

Yes, if you want waterfalls and green hills and can live with rain and fog. For clear views, treks and Dawki's clear water, October to April is better.

Does it rain all day in Meghalaya in June?

Not usually. Early June tends to bring heavy showers with dry spells in between; the rain becomes more constant towards July.

Can I do the double-decker root bridge trek in June?

Yes, with care. The steps are wet and slippery, so go early, wear shoes with grip and keep the Riwai single root bridge as a backup if it's pouring.

Is Dawki clear in June?

Usually not. Rain makes the Umngot muddy and boating can pause when the river is high. The glass-clear water returns from about November.
