The Capital of the state, Shillong was once the capital of the undivided Assam during the British rule. Perched at the height of around 1500 meters, Shillong gets its name form the presiding deity of the region Lei Shyllong. The beautiful hill station offers a spectrum of beautiful places and excursions in and around the city. Dotted with Victorian bungalows and churches this pretty little town boasts of a 18 hole golf course, supposed to be one of the best in the country.
