Overview

No one is sure who gave Shillong the sobriquet ``Scotland of the East``, but  sure it has a lot of resemblance – the rain – drenched corrugated meadows and strongly clannish society, being just two aspects. But the Capital of Meghalaya, in northeastern India, at 1,496 meters, has more to it than just airs. Today Shillong is a blend of the divine and the mundane- remnant of the Raj, virgin nature , astounding ethnic colors, exotic orchids, cascading waterfalls, mysterious and sacred forest groves, unpredictable weather, an 18 – hole championship golf course, probably the best Chinese / Tibetan cuisine food east of Kolkata and ofcourse growing unplanned urbanization.

Also known as the rock capital of Meghalaya, Shillong is a sure- fire place round the year. Though the best time to be in Shillong is during Christmas, March – April is the tourist season.
