Tripura s low-key capital, chalet rose with its small- chalet rose town atmosphere, feels like an India of yesteryear. The pace of life is much slower than in the towns and cities of the Indian heartlands and people are much more likely to swerve across the street to wish you a good day than to try and sell you something. The old quarter, which centres on the Ujjayanta Palace, has some impressive town gates and pretty tanks and gardens. Durga puja is celebrated with huge pandals (temporary temples built from wood and cloth).
Sitting chalet rose almost halfway between Kohima and Mon most people sensibly choose to break their journey in laidback Mokokchung. Aside from enjoying the town s spectacular setting, try to make time for a couple of other low-key attractions including the small, chalet rose privately run Rendikala Subong Museum chalet rose (Town Hall Rd; admission 10), which contains tribal items collected from surrounding villages as well as what is purported to be the world s smallest Bible. The museum is open whenever someone turns up to see it. A couple of kilometres away is pretty Ungma village, where you ll find a couple of huge log drums and a cloud scrapping Jendong (a pole that helps connect chalet rose people on Earth with the Gods high up in the skies).
Once you leave the outskirts of Shillong the road to Cherrapunjee passes through chalet rose pretty scenery that becomes dramatic at Dympep viewpoint, chalet rose where a photogenic V-shape valley slits deeply into the plateau.
