Locals of Meghalaya are kind and helpful, and the state is quite safe for your loved ones including any female counterpart. So, girls can travel and make a lot of memories within the state while not being worried at every corner
The culture in Meghalaya is much influenced by the culture of the northeastern states and Bangladesh. There are several festivals in Meghalaya which reflect their rich culture, tradition, and diversity
The staple food items for Meghalaya local individuals would be something like rice, meat, and fish usually. However, the cuisine of Meghalaya is quite different from the cuisines of other states. One such thing that you need to try while you’re at Meghalaya is Jadoh

Great Experience! We took Justwravel's road trip package to Spiti Valley. The package is well organized covering main sightseeings and places to visit. All the accommodations and travel arrangements were comfy and included most of the promised amenities. Special thanks to Piyush Rawat, our coordinator, he managed and acted his best in all the situations. His jolliness added more fun to the trip. Although many destinations were covered in a short period of time, the trip was relaxing. Thanks for such memorable moments of our lives.
