The promise of a colourful season ahead and the scent of blossoming flowers fill the air as April unfolds in Shillong. In this guide, we journey through Shillong's springtime attractions and explore locations that come to life in this enchanting time of year.
Temperatures and Weather Advantage in April
Shillong in April has mild temperatures ranging from 10°C to 25°C, offering a perfect climate for exploration. The air is crisp, the skies are clear, and the weather is just right for outdoor activities, ensuring a delightful experience for every traveller. The nights are still cool, dipping to around 10°C (50°F), so pack a light jacket for those starlit strolls. But mostly, it's a season where you can shed those layers and soak up the sunshine without breaking a sweat. The real star of the show is the landscape. April paints Shillong in shades of emerald green, with the rhododendrons taking centre stage. These vibrant blossoms, in hues ranging from fiery reds and pinks to delicate whites and purples, blanket the hillsides, creating a scene straight out of a fairytale.
Where to Witness Spring's Grandeur
Ward's Lake:Indulge in a peaceful paddle-boating experience on this tranquil lake, surrounded by the vibrant colours of blooming wildflowers and well-tended gardens. A paradise for nature enthusiasts, it offers an ideal setting for a relaxed walk, surrounded by the natural beauty crafted by the artistry of nature.
Shillong Peak: Embark on a hike to this renowned peak and enjoy sweeping views of the valley adorned with the vibrant hues of spring.
Lady Hydari Park: This botanical garden is a haven for flower enthusiasts, with over 2,500 species of plants, including a stunning collection of flora and fauna blooming.
Cherrapunjee: While technically not in Shillong, a quick trip to this "wettest place on Earth" during spring is a must. Witness the cascading waterfalls fueled by the monsoon's tail-end and the vibrant green valleys.
Beyond the Blooms
Spring in Shillong isn't just about pretty pictures. It's a season for adventure, too. Here are some ideas to get your adrenaline pumping:
Trekking: Embark on an adventure along the David Scott Trail, don your hiking boots, and traverse the numerous paths weaving through the hills, providing awe-inspiring vistas and opportunities to encounter the local flora and fauna.
Caving: Shillong boasts remarkable caves, a haven for spelunking enthusiasts. Explore the wonders of Mawsmai Cave or the Mawjymbuin Cave, ensuring an unforgettable underground experience.
Waterfalls: Spring marks the ideal time to discover enchanting waterfalls. Visit Laitlum Canyons, Elephant Falls, or Spread Eagle Falls for a refreshing swim and the chance to marvel at the sheer power of cascading water.
Birdwatching: Shillong stands as a haven for birdwatchers, with over 600 avian species gracing its forests. Engage the services of a local guide and spend a morning observing the colourful feathered inhabitants amidst the lush greenery.
Shillong in April is also the time for the Shad Suk Mynsiem festival. It is an expression of gratitude for the enchanting nature they are surrounded by and its creator. Traditional dances, local food, colourful and culture bounded attires are lovely sights to watch during this time. The festival radiates an aura of optimism and an endearing spirit to face the coming year. It is also a reminder to keep old traditions alive in modern times and be grounded to our roots.
