Ward’s lakeDon Bosco Museum
A good start to the day would be accentuated with ‘Judoh’ which is a spicy and tangy rice and meat dish special to Shillong. With a burst of tribal flavours on the tongue, you can head on to explore the enchanting oasis, Ward’s Lake. Built-in the late 19th century, this is a land of tranquility perfect for rejuvenation and respite from the rush of life. This creative marvel stands as a testament to human ingenuity and skilled craftsmanship where Fitzwilliam Thomas Pollok guided the creative structuring. The lone wooden bridge running across the lake provides a picturesque mystical allure of dancing water.
Next, you’re entering a treasure cove of cultural heritage, Asia’s largest Museum of Ingenious Cultures, the Don Bosco Museum. The northeastern region is embodied with diverse cultural heritage and traditions that beckon enthusiasts for an awe-inspiring journey to the city’s pride. From art and paintings, delicate artefacts, inspiring portraits and sculptures, to mesmerising photography, and intricately designed exhibits present an ingrained craftsmanship of the northeast.
End the day with an evening movie booking at the Galleria Anjalee Cinema, that is, a small but delicately constructed theatre in the heart of Shillong. Varying snacks and dinner delicacies in the food court at friendly prices ensure the greater popularity as one of the hang-out places in the city.
