Despite their different ethnic backgrounds, these two groups use a matrilineal system of inheritance with children taking the mother s family vip chalets name. A good time to be in Meghalaya is when the four day, state-wide, Wangala festival takes place. This Garo harvest festival is renowned for its impressive traditional dancing.
it is a necessary stopover. In the town itself is the Hotel Kanga Karo Palace (%223531; vip chalets r 750), which is brand new but already looks like its on its last legs.

If you have your own transport, far more interesting accommodation is available in the small, traditional thatched village of Ligu (coming from Ziro take the left turning just before the bridge at the entrance to Daporijo) where you ll find the basic, but delightful Ligu Tourist Resort (%223114; r 700). The family who run it cook up fantastic meals. Vanishing under the shadow of jungle trees, Ligu village itself is well worth exploring and the people are truly lovely.
