Meghalaya |
| |
|
Meghalaya is one of the country’s newest states with its
capital at Shillong. For long a summer retreat of the
British, the beautifully kept golf course and several
English country cottages testify to another influence
besides the local one. Meghalaya or the 'abode of the cloud' is meant for Gods to live in with its pure atmosphere. Its sweet water and peaceful environment would attract even Gods. It invites you with open arms to spend some time in its lap of nature. Tucked away in the hills of eastern sub-Himalayas Meghalaya is one of the most beautiful states in India. Nature has blessed her with abundant rainfall, sun-shine, virgin forests, high plateaus, tumbling waterfalls, crystal clear rivers, meandering streamlets and above all with sturdy, intelligent and hospitable people. Beautiful lakes and falls, hillside
cottages, a large university, and the popular Bara Bazar
are quaint aspects of this town. |
