| THE
WETTEST LAND ON EARTH |
Shillong
is a picturesque hill station offering a good holiday
all year round. One of the most motor-able hill
stations a stay at Shillong does not require as
much mandatory walking as in other places. Adequate
facilities, scenic beauty, cheerful people, clouds
and tall pines, mountains, valleys, meadows and
an excellent golf course make Shillong a great destination.
Believe it or not, while the whole world knows of
Cherrapunjee as the wettest place on earth, very
little is known of Meghalaya the state it is in.
You will be surprised they have not even heard of
a state called by the name Meghalaya and when they
meet our people in the big cities of India
