Chasing the Scotland of the East: Shillong-Cherrapunji-Mawsynram tour for a week
We descended from the steeps of Bomdila, Arunachali Himalayas rather quick and entered into the warm embrace of the Khasi Jaintia hillside in a day, fourteen hours of road-trip to be precise! Verdant landscapes and still bodied Umiam lake (local alias, bara pani, literally meaning big water) quickly formed a layer on our memory, which was overwhelmed in the awe of snowcapped mountains and frolicking Jia Bharali from Arunachal Pradesh! Countless steel bridges helped us surpass the expanse from two distant states of North East India, one bordering with China, other with Bangladesh!
