How People Live in Mawsynram | Why People Live Where It Never Stops Raining | 4K Travel

#TravelDocumentary #mawsynram #impossibleplaces Twelve metres of rain. Every year. In one small village in the hills of northeast India, the sky delivers more water than anywhere else on Earth — eleven thousand, eight hundred and seventy-two millimetres, year after year. And people have lived here for generations. This is Mawsynram, Meghalaya: the wettest place on Earth, home of the Khasi people, the living root bridges, and a way of life built entirely around the rain.
