Shillong, Meghalaya

Shillong is the capital of Meghalaya and has a population of 250,000 people. The city was also the capital of undivided Assam until the creation of the new State of Meghalaya in January 1972.

The city boasts of many beautiful churches and cathedrals. The colonial hangover of Shillong is not yet over. People still do not feel emabarrassed to describe their city in terms of Scotland of the east or Glen Eagle of the east. Picinic spots in and around Shillong include Elephant falls in upper Shillong, Spread Eagle falls, Ward Lake, Bara Pani.
