Shillong Scotland of East

Shillong Scotland of East is a 3-day escape to Meghalaya’s charming capital — a city of rolling hills, pine forests, waterfalls, and a thriving music scene. Cruise the serene Umiam Lake surrounded by East Khasi Hills, visit the majestic Elephant Falls cascading through moss-covered rocks, explore the Don Bosco Museum (one of the finest museums in Asia showcasing Northeast tribal culture), and take a peaceful walk around Ward’s Lake.

Trek to Laitlum Canyon — meaning “End of Hills” — for breathtaking views of deep gorges and terraced landscapes. Shillong’s vibrant café culture, live music scene (it’s known as India’s Rock Capital), bustling Police Bazaar, and the warmth of Khasi hospitality make it a refreshingly different Indian hill station experience.
