Shillong is a hill station situated in the state of Meghalaya. The surrounding is soothing and mesmerising. You can avail a car or bus to reach Shillong through Assam provided you want to go there somewhere from the western part.
On the way to Shillong you will have to cross the Umiam lake, which is pure bliss. I asure you you will really love to visit is and if you miss it, you are sure to regret. The surrounding around the lake is calm, the the lake is really huge. Shillong is well planned, and there are a no. Of hotels. The local market is fascinating but the cost of things are slightly high. You will need warm clothes even in the month of April-May. I visited the place back in 2013, in the month of April and warm clothes were required. There are a no.
Of parks to visit which is not much far away from the heart of the city.There is the famous elephanta falls which is very famous. There is a butterfly museum which you can visit but it is not very famous, and very few people in the city can guide you to the place. But it is one of the must-watch within the city. There is a golf-coarse that you may visit. You may also go to Cherrapunji from Shillong which is another fascinating place. The food you will get is delicious and the price is reasonable as well. If you want to experience rain, the best time to go is during June-July, otherwise April is one of the best times to visit.
