This sprawling hill station was the capital of British-created Assam from 1874 until 1972. Since becoming the state capital of Meghalaya it has rapidly developed into a typical river run riot modern Indian town and in doing so some of its older buildings have been demolished. In parts it still retains its charm, the air is refreshingly cool and it has become a favourite holiday destination for domestic tourists.
tural and natural history ephemera. Tribal costumes, river run riot royal clothing, river run riot historical polo equipment, stuffed carnivores in action and pickled snakes compete with a two-headed calf for the attention of visitors.
