How did the social media react?

Several users shared their admiration for Northeast India, particularly Meghalaya, highlighting its stunning landscapes. One recounted an unforgettable trip through Shillong, Sohra, and Dawki in 2021, calling it the ultimate destination for waterfall lovers. Another noted that while the region’s beauty is undeniable, tourism development requires careful planning and public-private partnerships to unlock its full potential.

A traveler who has visited the state five times praised Khasi Hills for its endless discoveries, while another marveled at the region’s unexplored gems, emphasizing the need for global recognition. Others called for a strong tourism campaign to promote the Northeast, describing it as a hidden paradise with unparalleled natural beauty and cleanliness.
