In India there is a city where nobody would want to go on holiday, even though it is surrounded by quite attractive scenery.
Cherrapunji is, in fact, the rainiest settlement in the world.
It rains here literally every day. On average, there is about 12,000 mm of rainfall per year.
Approximately 10,000 people live permanently in the city.
And they always wear a raincoat and carry an umbrella.
Agriculture doesn't work here.
That's why cement is produced and coal and limestone are extracted.
The city has a large cement factory, and there are several industrial centers in the surrounding area for the extraction of coal and limestone.
People work in industrial plants or engage in trade.
There's not much more you can do here.
The mountainous landscape surrounding the city forms continuous funnels of clouds.
Only between November and February does it receive slightly less rain than usual.
The locals have long since learned to adapt to this challenging environment.
In areas where roads turn into rivers after rain, people build living bridges, for example.
These structures are built using tree roots. Cherrapunji is famous for these bridges.
And every day, despite the rain and puddles, the locals go to work, go fishing, and even go for walks.
But how they dry their laundry... I couldn't find out.
