Meghalaya- the abode in clouds
Most of us dream of experiencing a walk through clouds and feeling the light mist spraying on our face. As fairy-tale like as it may sound, it could actually be a reality. All you have to do is head to the abode of clouds – right here in India. Meghalaya in the north-east is quite true to its name for it is a state that is literally covered with clouds.Filled with mystical waterfalls, sprawling green valleys and hidden cave systems, Meghalaya has tons of experiences to offer. With the pre-monsoons already creating a mystical atmosphere, there is no better time to discover the various things to do here.
1-Tee off at the Shillong Golf Course
You might not know how to golf but that should not stop you from getting to one of the few natural golf courses in the world. Termed as the Gleneagle of this east, this golf course in Shillong will treat you to more than just a game. Sitting on the grassy hilltop, you can spend some quiet moments watching cattle grazing, kids attempting acrobatics or even playing football.
2-Try some watersports at Umiam Lake
The Barapani or the Umiam Lake on the outskirts of Shillong is what gave the city the sobriquet – Scotland of the East. The blue waters of this scenic lake surrounded by hills are often compared to the Loch Lake of Scotland. Plan an idyllic picnic in the Lum Nehru Park by its bank or get set to explore the waters on a kayak. For those who like a little speed, try motorboats or water scooters.
