Meghalaya Tour

Shillong

This charming capital of Meghalaya takes its name from the local deity “Leishyllong”, who is believed to reside at the highest point of the city. Reminiscent of a colonial hill retreat, Shillong too boasts of cobbled streets, gable-roofed cottages, and colonial-era Churches that uphold its old-world charm. Its quirky cafes at Laitmukhra, bustling Police Bazaar and beautiful parks add to its appeal.
