chalet au quebec The biggest, most cosmopolitan and, some might say, the most Indian city in the northeast, Guwahati





The biggest, most cosmopolitan and, some might say, the most Indian city in the northeast, Guwahati chalet au quebec is an essential stop on any northeastern tour. A casual glance might place Guwahati alongside any other Indian city but wander the back alleys chalet au quebec around Jorpulkuri Ponds, away from the concrete jungle of the central business district, and you could almost imagine yourself in a village made up of ponds, palm trees, small single-storey traditional houses and old colonial-era mansions.

Framing itself as the Khasi cultural centre, Smit hosts the major fi ve-day Nongkrem Festival (October). This features animal sacrifices and a curious slow-motion shuffling dance performed in full costume in front of the thatched bamboo palace of the local syiem (traditional ruler). Smit is 11km from Shillong, 4km off the Jowai road.
