Shillong is a hill station in the northeastern part of India and the capital of Meghalaya, which means "The Abode of Clouds".It is the headquarters of the East Khasi Hills district. Shillong is the 330th most populous city in India with a population of 143,229 according to the 2011 census. It is said that the rolling hills around the town reminded the British of Scotland. Hence, they would also refer to it as the "Scotland of the East".
Every autumn, we think of visiting a hilly region because in summer and monsoons there is always a threat of landslides and roadblocks in the young mountain paths of the Himalayas.
Every autumn, we think of visiting a hilly region because in summer and monsoons there is always a threat of landslides and roadblocks in the young mountain paths of the Himalayas.This autumn, we decided to go to Meghalaya. Unfortunately just before the trip started in the first week of October, there was unusually heavy rainfall which caused landslides and deaths. The reports on landslides and the destruction it caused worried us to no end. In fact, at one point of time we thought of cancelling the trip.
However, our travel agent Sudipto Lahiry, who runs an outfit called The Explorer Tours & Travels in Kolkata (www.explorertours.in) urged us not to cancel the trip since the national highway between Guwahati and Shillong had been cleared well in time.

We stopped at a small town —- its name eludes me —- to have a light lunch. Thereafter, we drove through green mountains, thick Himalayan foliage and enjoyed the pollution-free mountain air. We drove past hamlets, small eateries, schools and a beautiful water body. I asked the driver Babla, a Bengali and a resident of Shillong, the name of the lake: “Barapani or Umiam lake”. It’s not a natural lake but a dam, he said.
