The Ward’s Lake is well known locally as the Pollock’s Lake or Nan Polok. Incidentally This is one of the most important tourist attractions of Shillong and indeed this is the core architectural design element around which the Shillong City has been planned. The lake is rumoured to be over a 100 years old #walmarttravels #tour #WardsLake

Misty and Exotic Shillong

The capital of Meghalaya is a quaint little hill town with winding, sloping roads; houses with colonial architecture and cute little cafes.

 It is an ideal place to spend a few days of respite from the hustle and bustle of a typical city. Shillong offers numerous labyrinthine paths and streets where one can go on endless walks admiring the beauty of nature. And old, rusted goalposts standing tall in a field in the middle of nowhere is a common sight here! (Above: View from a rain soaked and misty Shillong Peak )

There some typical tourist sites on offer which are made all the more lovely by the pleasant monsoon weather. Be it the Shillong Peak, Ward’s Lake or Elephant Falls - it is a calm and relaxing experience. But they are quite popular haunts for all the tourists so be ready to witness some noisy tourist crowds.

Other than this a visit to Police Bazaar and Bara Bazaar is a must for shopping expeditions. Also, archery bets can be placed on one of the many small stalls which can be seen all over Shillong city. But to really savor and enjoy Shillong just grab your umbrella and take a walk on the many winding, labyrinthine roads enjoying the solitude and quiet.
