Best Time to Visit Cherrapunjee
Cherrapunjee lies in the sub-tropical highland region of India and experiences an average rainfall of 11,777 millimetres, i.e. 463.7 inches. Since the hill station sees rainfall throughout the year, the weather is always pleasant and cool and suitable for you to book your Cherrapunjee tourism package online. However, the depth of the rainfall might vary from medium to heavy, depending upon the season. Cherrapunjee receives monsoonal winds from both the southwest and northeast directions.
Adding to that, as the city lies on the windward side of the Khasi Hills, the precipitation in the atmosphere is enhanced due to the resulting orographic lift. During the winter season, Cherrapunjee receives northeast monsoon rains that go down to the Brahmaputra valley. Though it is unlikely that the city goes without rainfall, the winter months starting from November to February are stated to be the drier months due to the low intensity of the shower and may be well suited for a tour of Cherrapunjee. Since the intensity of the showers reaches its peak during the monsoon season, it is advisable to avoid visiting the city during this time. However, with the on-going trend of exploring places in the rain, you too can try it out, but after taking the required precautions. The best time to visit Cherrapunjee is from September to January if you want to soak in the beauty of the city’s natural aura.
