Entered Meghalaya.
So we started the day with a beautiful sunrise that we've never witnessed in our life. It was a beautiful heavenly sunrise that delighted our soul with a great inspiration. Metaphor:- That no matter how worse situation you're going through, happiness and good till will come to you. Just like the past evening we faced heavy rain and strong winds while staying in Brahmaputra Resort and we thought our trip would be cancelled due to the weather. But the sunrise showed us that we can continue our journey because THAT STORM IS OVER! NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO START EVERYTHING FROM THE START!
But remember breakfast is as important as any organ in our body to start the day. So we ordered hot chocolate to make us warm and comfortable and also sandwiches. We then took off and entered the " Scotland of the East" Shillong!
Beautiful place, beautiful culture and beautiful girls 馃槄 The police here in Meghalaya is one of the strict police organization in India and welcome us to Meghalaya in a great way ( Unfortunately they didn't allow us to take picture of them) and told us some great viewing places we can visit and places we can use to energize. In a place name "Umsning", we saw some monkeys taking fruits from the vehicles that were passing buy. Locals there termed those monkeys as SACRED and that they bring good lucks for the year. So we bought some bananas from a local street shop and offered them and believe me, they gave us ashirwad(blessing) just like humans. We then knew why they were termed as "SACRED"!
We again continued our jounrney and reached Barapani(Umiam Lake)
No matter how many times I come and go from Meghalaya, the place to take some rest after miles of driving is Barapani View Point. It is such a great view to the Umiam Lake, to the high green mountains and the formation of beautiful clouds, you'll come to know why it's termed as "Scotland of the East" and "Adobe of Clouds".
In evening time, flamingoes and parrots visit that place and eats food offered by the visitors and it is even termed as one the best viewing point in entire Northeast India.
After 169km of driving through dense jungle roads, foggy mountains and deadly curves we reached Shillong. We went to a Dhaba (highway stalls) to take some beers as the weather in there was 9掳C yet sunny which gave me an opportunity to take a beautiful picture of my friend. Look at the beautiful clouds and the sunshine yet you would shiver in cold while travelling till Shillong bypass. After Shilling bypass, roads become foggy and there is zero visibility but thanks to Meghalaya Government and it's Police forces that they control the traffic in a great way and provide great support to the travellers.
Truly, travelling have gave me beautiful memories and a strong positive vibe that I'll never get from any other work. And I'll continue to travel the world as my mom once said,
