Above sea levels Enroute you will pass first the halfway mandatory stop at nongpoh where you can savor a cup of tea while watching the flow of traffic. Pretty women behind small stalls sell pineapples and bananas honey and pickles in bottles.

In recent years this has become an incresingly popular place for outings and weekend visits. The Orchid lake resort designed by the famous architects charles correa and constructed amongst pine wood overlooks the lake. Flurries of rain often sweep across the water body, scattering visitors, and splash loudly on the large bay windows of the lounge.

The city derives its from the deity Shyllong or Lei Shyllong which is worshipped at the Shillong peak 10kms from the main town and 1,965 metres above sea level.
