Meghalaya’s beauty is so surreal, even Anand Mahindra had to clarify it’s 'not AI'

Mahindra Group’s chairman, Anand Mahindra, often shares interesting tidbits on the micro-blogging platform. On Sunday, he was left in awe by the stunning beauty of the northeastern state, Meghalaya. He reshared a video on X and wrote, “Not AI. Meghalaya. Do we even know the beauty we possess?”

The original video started with a text overlay reading, “Most beautiful places in Meghalaya that look like AI”, with a sunset photo in the background. The video shows a glimpse of Nohkalikai falls, whose cascading waterfall looks amazing. The next one is of Shella, an eco-rural destination with crystal clear water that almost looks magical. The video next features Pung Lyer waterfalls with clear water, making them perfect for a swim. The next place to feature in the video is of Shnongpdeng, followed by Khaddum and Warichora.

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.
