So finally it happen,my wish to go on a trip without parents. Being a 20 something women and still jobless i decide to save up my tutoring fees and travel to a place close to nature.Before the hectic and hopeless life could take a toll , i decided to travel to Shillong the scotland of northeast.
Before the trip me and one of my friend decide to go however my friend couldn't made it due to some health issues so i end up going with a cousin sister though she was way too much younger than me. she is quite a jolly girl and our personality match a lot.
On 14thoctober2018, we took a train to Guwahati and from there we reach shillong via car. The train to guwahati was quite a fun one, despite taking ticket on general berth we were lucky enough, cos that day the train was fully empty. As the train started i was pretty nervous, first we came across beautiful plain areas and as we reach near the hilly regions we were introduced with more scenic beauty. Around 10pm on the same day we reach guwahati,we were received by our cousin brother so didnt have to bother about booking a hotel room. And on 15th early morning at 7am we hired a cab and reach shillong by 9.30 am. As we enter shillong me and my cousin didnt feel the cold instantly but slowly. we were mocking the weather being not cold but as our body got habited with the weather we felt the chill enter our every bones.
Again i was lucky enough , cos i didnt had to worry about accommodation. My younger aunties daughters rent house was big enough to provide us with accommodation.
so our journey to explore shillong begin the next day, on 16th we walk to police bazaar and end up with many shopping bags. the walk to police bazaar was a painfull one, not use to hill climbing i end up sweating and huffing. what wonder me the most is the people whom i passed by was not even out of single breathe while i was clinging to my dear cousin arms to pull me up.
Next we took a trip to golf-course of shillong. it was one of the most beautiful place i have ever come across. Ofcourse we decide to walk to the golf course. the golfcourse was pretty big one , and being sunday many people were present from young couples to family members and everyone were busy enjoying. The Golfcourse was one of the oldest known course, its scenic beauty did justice to its beauty, on one side there is a big plateau while the whole area was laden with various type of trees. The cotton candy and the the street food is worth trying.
On the last day of our stay in shillong we finally decided to visit Wards lake. the lake is again the oldest lake of shillong. it has the serene peaceful beauty in it in the midst of the town of shillong. many young couple and families visit the lake everyday. there is places to sit and enjoy the view as well as boating facility in the lake. The peaceful nature gives one a peace of mind as well as hope.
Overall the trip to shillong was a good one ,despite visiting only the local places of shillong. it was one of the best trip i ever had despite many problems, i am grateful that i actually took this trip and dont regret a bit. Atleast i had fulfil one of my wish and now time to fulfil one more aim. till then hope you enjoy reading and get inspire to take such trip like me.
