The city of Shillong is often considered to be a place where nature is in its primal beauty; where clouds and the sun express their own camaraderie through a vivid interlay of sunshine and shadow; where the colonial remnants meet the upsurge of modern day influence and where music runs through the veins of everyone you come across. So naturally, there is a lot to see in Shillong, which is, by the way, true to the core; but to tag the city as merely a ‘places to visit paradise’ would be sheer injustice to the lesser known opportunities for action and adventure. Things to do in Shillong can be turned into a full–fledged vacation idea rather than just a part of the itinerary.
Embark on a musical journey in the city often referred to as India’s Rock Capital and a watchful stroll along the narrow alleys is a good start to have. Extend your sojourn and see names like Lou Majaw, Afflatus and Soulmate in their own territory. For the ones who like things ready–on–a–platter, we suggest you visit Shillong during any music concert. Once your thirst for melody is quenched, time for some water rappelling at the Elephant Falls; golfer or non golfer, Shillong Golf Course is one place you would not want to miss out on; take a leisurely stroll along the Wards Lake and indulge in water activities like boating, skiing and rowing at the Umiam Lake.
