I have visited the state of Meghalaya only twice. The first time I visited Huhua, a popular picnic spot in Meghalaya. It was in 2014, when I was in my BA TDC first year at Bongaigaon College, that the Bongaigaon College All Bodo Students' Union organized this trip.
The second time was in 2021, when I was working as an assistant teacher at Gurudev Kalicharan Brahma Academy, Amteka, and four of us teachers decided to visit Meghalaya together.
Our tour team consisted of Subojit Brahma (Vice principal) and Pranjay Narzary (Science teacher at Jesus Mary School, Bijni ), both of whom had completed B.Tech from CIT, Kokrajhar. Also with us were assistant teacher Subash Narzary and myself.
On the first day, we visited Cherrapunji, the rainiest place in Meghalaya, and stayed there overnight. On the second day, we went out in the morning to see some waterfalls, including Seven Falls, Wai Saodang and Mawsmai Cape. We then visited the Dawki River and had lunch there. In the evening, we returned to Shillong town and had dinner before staying overnight.
Meghalaya certainly has the pleasure of some unique natural scenery and beauty in the state. Observing the way people here spoke and lived, I had many thoughts. Truly, the people of this state have made their lives through hard work and struggle.
We had to pay high prices for food in Shillong and even for the place where we stayed for just one night. Our driver drove very fast and fearlessly on the mountain roads and got us to our destination on time.
The next day, we visited Ilipan Paul and William Lake, still in Shillong. Then, in the evening, we took a short walk in the city of Guwahati, had dinner, and stayed there for the night. The next day, we boarded the train, arrived in the city of Bangagao, and from there returned to the hostel of Gurudev Kalicharan Brahmo Academy in Amtaka..
