10 days in Shillong Itinerary

Established as the capital of Assam by the British, the hill station of Shillong today serves as the capital of Meghalaya, created in 1972.

Don Bosco Centre for Indigenous Cultures and Cathedral of Mary Help of Christians are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Take a break from the city and head to Mawsmai Cave and Mawphlang Sacred Forest. Get out of town with these interesting Shillong side-trips: Nartiang Monoliths (in Jowai) and Sohra (Nohkalikai Falls, Wah Kaba Falls, &more). The adventure continues: visit Police Bazar, head off the coast to Lumpongdeng Island, explore the activities along Ward's Lake, and Head underground at Mawjymbuin Cave.
