RibongShillong is an area in the beautiful hill station Shillong. Tourists visit here because of the safe and secure accommodation in this area and also because of the market in the vicinity to buy memorabilia from there. Shillong is the capital of Meghalaya and this hill station is often referred to as Scotland of the east. There are reasons for comparing Shillong with Scotland. The landscape here with undulating hills and the green pasture dipped in the mist present a perfect picture of the same in Scotland. The meandering roads amidst valley is another aspect that likens this place with Scotland. In Scotland too there are tortuous mountain roads that lead you to your destination and the journey is so relaxing and picture-perfect that you will feel no tiredness at the end of it. There is another striking similarity between dance and music. There are dance and music every evening here like that of Scotland.
The hills of Scotland have waterfalls presenting a charming spectacle and here in Shillong, you will witness the same phenomenon. The falling water from the hills glitters in the sun. The lakes in Shillong are tranquil and cool in the middle of the mountains just as the lakes of Scotland are in the lap of the hills. You will be charmed by the view and won’t feel like leaving the place even taking the photographs. It is rather fortunate for you that many sites in Shillong are unsullied and undisturbed by the crowd of tourists. You can spend your time in an absolute calm all by yourself if you visit such places. The music festival in Shillong is marvellous. It happens every year on the National Highway and the great performers and musicians from all over India go a long way and perform to the cheers of the young crowd. The whole valley reverberates to the notes of music and song.
