If you guessed that the Rain Museum is opening in Meghalaya, you must be the biggest fan of monsoon in India, because you’re right. It’s not nicknamed the wettest place on Earth for no reason!
The monsoon season is India’s heart, pouring its abundant love into our agricultural produce, lakes, rivers, and more. It’s even captured our vocabulary, giving birth to words like Petrichor and the Khasi words of slap-bnuip-bnuip (drizzle), slap-boi-ksi (tiny droplets with light rain), and slap-bah (heavy shower) that show their deep connection to nature in Meghalaya. The rains easily define the feeling every Indian calls home. The world’s first Rain Museum in India is being constructed to convey the same feeling of belonging to every tourist in Mawsynram, so hop on cheap flights to Shillong to live the feeling.

Meghalaya has invested INR 35 crores in the Rain Museum India, putting its complete faith in the clouds. As per Paul Lyngdoh, Meghalaya’s tourism minister, the aim is to make Mawsynram a niche tourist spot for rain lovers, as the local lifestyle, housing, and even garments are shaped by the continuous rainfall.
The construction of the Rain Museum and Research Centre is expected to begin at the end of the monsoon season. Drawing more tourists to the location will thereby increase employment opportunities and improve living conditions for the locals.
You’ll soon see many of the best hotels in Meghalaya expand to Mawsynram, especially an eco-resort near Mawmluh Caves. It’s soon to become one of the best places to visit in monsoon in India!
