Rice with spicy meat and fish dishes is the main cuisine of the population. They raise cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, and goats and enjoy the meat they produce. Jadot, Ki Kpu, tung Mumbai, and pickled bamboo shoots are typical foods from the Khasis and Jaintia; bamboo shoots are also a Garo favourite.

The three main dialects spoken in Meghalaya are Khasi, Pnar, and Garo, with English serving as the official state language. The development of the Khasi, Pnar, and Garo languages and literature, as well as their inclusion in the list of Modern Indian Languages, was spurred on by Christian missionaries.

Meghalaya's climate is typically highly humid. The southwest monsoon and the northeast winter winds have a direct impact on it. Meghalaya has four distinct seasons: spring (March to April), monsoon (May to September), autumn (October to November), and winter (December to February) (December to February).
