The romantic
city of Shillong has been one of the important tourist desitnations
of the North East. It is often referred to as the "Scotland
of the East" due to its striking similarity with the Scottish
Highlands. The city derives its name from "Leishyllong" - the
Superpower or God who is believed to be residing on the Shillong
Peak overlooking the Shillong City. Lying in the cradle
of the tall pine conifers and pineapple shrubs, Shillong's undulating
terrain is a constant source of attraction for tourists from both
home and abroad. The Khasi, Jaintia and Garo tribes add colour to
this Hill City. Amongst the must visits in Shillong are its
waterfalls, peaks and lakes.
