Cherrapunjee that records highest rainfall in India is a place not to be missed. I have read
about it in my geography books during my childhood. I Used to wonder about the beauty of this place. When we decided to travel to the North Eastern part of India, it was a wise decision that we took to visit Cherrapunjee. While I will be writing a separate article on Cherrapunjee this article is about spectacular views in sky when sun set and Moon rise together. Cherrapunjee being a place of stunning views of magnificent mountains, it was actually an awe inspiring scenery when the sun was setting and moon was rising. We were fortunate to have experienced those divine moments.

other.
