ampus Cloud in the # Located at an average altitude of 1496 metres above the Main Sea Level, Shillong is nestled in the Khasi Hills, covered by the green cornucopia and the dreamy clouds. Shillong, a city full of life and a place to be, is the capital city of Meghalaya –“the abode of clouds”. It is one of the leading education hubs in the North East with many schools and colleges specked in the picturesque settings. The city has beats and rhythms in everything: the church bells, the choirs, the rock bands and music flows in every nook and corner. Surrounded by the hills, the city is in the vicinity of many beautiful tourist spots: Shillong Peak, the Elephant Falls, and the Ward’s Lake. The rains and mist in the air add to the charm of the place. As many have rightly quoted, the places in and around Shillong reminded many of the rolling greens of the Scottish highlands – thus it is also known as “Scotland of the East”. The human eyes’ thirst for beauty can be quenched by the scenic surroundings of Shillong. The full glory of nature can be seen in the forests, lakes and waterfalls that are present in the region. For the adventure seeking souls there are challenging trekking routes in Smit Valley or the David Scott's trail. Just near to it is Cherrapunji which offers many more places to sooth one's eyes with Nature's beauty. In Shillong, the hills keep reckoning the heart with its charm and so it's best to keep your cameras and back packs ready! And for conventional tourists, Shillong offers no less! The Elephant falls, Wards lake, Shillong Peak, Capt. Williamson Sangma State Museum, Cathedral of Mary Help of Christian, Sweet Falls and Don Bosco Centre are a few notable tourist spots in and around the city. Be it the “Sacred Groves” of Mawphlang, the engineering marvels of the “Living Root Bridges” or the resplendent Nohkalikai Falls, every place is a cynosure for the eyes.  06 Indian Institute of Management Shillong
