Hey deepak, First of all, let me congratulate you as you have a picked a stupendous place as your next travel destination. The main attractions in and around Shilong are as follows: Within Shilong - 1) Elephant falls 2) Don bosco Museum 3) Wards lake 4) The many view points to get a gorgeous view of the Khasi valley from the city Nearby Shillong: 1) Dawki (I'll rate it no. one as this is the place where the water is so clear that the boats appear as floating in the air, checkout some google images to believe me!) 2) Shnongpedong (a lesser known cousin of Dawki, but equally pristine, known for river side camping) 3) Mawlynnong (cleanest village of Asia) 4) Mawsynrum (wettest places on Earth) 5) Cherrapunji (which has a variety of attractions including Swami vivekanand mission, 7 sister falls, Nohkalikai Falls, lush parks and view points) 6) Krang suri falls (I have not visited it yet, but the photos are simply droolworthy!) Hope this helps :)

Meghalaya is a small and beautiful hill state of India. Shillong has its own place in the hill stations of North East India. Tourist places in Shillong are very attractive for their natural environment, scenic views, mountain ranges, cool waterfalls, lush green valleys, beautiful plains, and traditional culture. Shillong Peak- This peak is at a distance of 10 km from Shillong from where you can see the whole city, it is quite captivating to see this peak at night, especially under the starlight. Lady Hydari Park is a beautiful park decorated with almost every kind of flower. Sweet Fall - If you want to go out for a day and have a picnic at a good place then you can go to Sweet Fall. Ward's Lake is an artificial lake located right in the middle of this city and is called the life of the city, boating facilities are also available here. Elephant Waterfall - This waterfall is located in Upper Shillong, here many falls fall together which look quite mesmerizing. Apart from this, there are many more places to visit in Shillong, such as - Kyllang Rock Shillong Krem Mawmluh cave Don Bosco Museum National Park - Nokrek and Balpakaram Wildlife Century - Nangkhilam and Siju There are many caves for adventurous lovers like - Siju Caves, Mawsmai Caves, Creme Momluh Cave, etc. By the way, the weather here is always pleasant. But when it rains here during the monsoon, the beauty of the whole city is enhanced and the monsoon season is the best time to visit Shillong.
