Scotland of the East. Review on Shillong

"Scotland of the East"; that's how the British had reverend Meghalaya, the state whose heart is Shillong. Shillong is a bustling hill station now with tourists crowding in at different seasons. Yes, the nature and ecology, is at a decline and the place is getting polluted but nothing can override the beauty that this place provides. There is so much to do, so much to see.

From waterfalls, to lakes, to shopping and live concerts. The people are friendly, weather is calm and cool and you can't hep but fall in love with this place. If you are looking for a taste of nature go to elephanta falls which is situated in the city, or take an early morning ride and drive to Shillong peak. The weather is chilled in the peak which provides a complete view of the city below.

Don't forget to grab a hot cup of tea here and buy some souvenirs. An hour or two from there is Cherrapunji, the rainiest place on earth. Its a doorway to nature's lap with waterfalls that will take your breath away and a view you can't resist but stare at. For the shopaholics shillong has the police bazar with its wide range of hawkers selling a variety of things at prices you need to bargain for. Shillong is also the rock capital and the music scene here is just building. So take a trip to this amazing place and behold the beauty that lies.
