Description

Shillong – The Music & Nature Capital of Northeast India

Once the capital of composite Assam until 1972, Shillong now proudly serves as the capital of Meghalaya, a land of misty hills, cascading waterfalls, and rich cultural heritage. Often called the "Scotland of the East," its rolling green hills and picturesque landscapes reminded early European settlers of the Scottish Highlands.

Beyond its scenic charm, Shillong is also known as "India’s Rock Capital" due to its deep-rooted passion for music, having hosted renowned festivals like NH7 Weekender and Submerge Dance Project. The city effortlessly blends colonial-era nostalgia with modern vibrancy, offering visitors a unique experience.

Explore breathtaking sites such as Elephant Falls, Ward’s Lake, Shillong Peak, and the iconic Don Bosco Cathedral. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, an adventure seeker, or a music lover, Shillong is the perfect retreat, where nature and melody create an unforgettable symphony.
