Shillong – Magical Mountain

Shillong needs no introduction. This postcard perfect hill-station in Meghalaya is the music capital of India. Often referred to as the Scotland of the East, Shillong has a string of attractions, from English style cottages, pine forests, numerous waterfalls, some bang in the middle of the city and even an 18-hole golf course, where you can tee off gleefully, with the snow-capped mountains forming a backdrop. For a glimpse of the Khasi tribe’s matriarchal culture, visit Bara Bazaar, run entirely by efficient, enterprising women, selling everything from piglets to betel nut.

Some of the local must-see attractions in Shillong are – the Ward’s lake, Butterfly Museum, Lady Hydari Park, Tadlskein Lake, Sweet falls, Elephant falls, Sohpetbneng peak and Beadon Falls are some of the tourists attractions of Shillong. The boat races held in Umgot River are popular among locals and tourist alike.
