Overview
Here’s a brief overview of Shillong and Kaziranga:
Shillong: Known as the “Scotland of the East,” Shillong is the capital city of Meghalaya, nestled in the Khasi Hills. It’s famous for its picturesque landscapes, including rolling hills, cascading waterfalls (like Elephant Falls and Sweet Falls), and lush greenery. The city has a charming colonial-era ambiance and is a hub of Khasi culture. Shillong is also renowned for its vibrant music scene and, notably, for the beautiful cherry blossoms that bloom in autumn, transforming the city into a pink wonderland.
Kaziranga National Park: Located in Assam, Kaziranga National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a global conservation success story. It is most famous as the stronghold of the Indian one-horned rhinoceros, housing approximately two-thirds of the world’s population. Beyond the rhino, it’s home to the “Big Five” (including Royal Bengal tigers, Asian elephants, wild water buffalo, and Eastern swamp deer) and boasts one of the highest tiger densities in India. The park’s unique ecosystem of vast grasslands and wetlands is shaped by the mighty Brahmaputra River, making it a vital habitat for diverse wildlife and a haven for birdwatchers.
