Meghalaya (The wettest place on earth): Visit Cherrapunji or Mawsynram in July, and you will drown. Visit in April, and you catch the "spring bloom." The waterfalls are roaring (fed by pre-monsoon showers), but the roads are still dry.

Assam’s tea gardens are not just green; in April, they are electric green. The first flush tea harvest is happening. You can stay in a heritage bungalow (half the price of winter) and watch the pluckers work under mild, sunny skies (25°C to 28°C).
