Apart from Mawphlong Sacred Forest, this is the only other place I definitely recommend visiting. We went to view the sunset. The view is picturesque and the hills look amazing. Leave early from Shillong. To reach this place, take the highway route, even if it shows a little longer. We took the shorter route and the road later became bad, it was just stones after a point and was under construction. Carry a jacket, gloves and ear covers if you are going by two wheeler, for return.
