Shillong Tour Packages

Encircled by pine trees, cascading waterfalls, and azure lakes, Shillong is known to be "Scotland of the East" for a reason.

Nestled in the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya, Shillong is known for its rolling hills, cooling gentle winds, and picturesque vistas that will leave your imagination spell-bound.

Coming to its official name, Shillong derives it from Lei Shyllong – an idol who worshipped at the Shillong Peak. Covered with lush and dense coniferous forests, Shillong looks nothing less than a scene straight out of a magical postcard.
