Beautiful.

Not only coz my wife was born there.

Question for anybody who may know: In view of recent incidents in Assam, how safe is this belt (Assam/Meghalaya) for a visit by people belonging to other states?

Thumbs up

Shillong is totally safe for tourists. Just do not indulge in any altercation with the locals.

Shillong is very beatiful with no activity or programme for tourists.

No worries there. Insurgents there have a track record of targetting only poor labour class people.
Anyway tourists are never in trouble if they do not indulge in political discussions. Unless one is dealing with taxi-drivers.
