There are two caves here. One is recently found and one is old. Both of them worth a visit. They are in almost their natural state and still well lit. It was an adventure for children and they enjoyed it very much. One caution though: people who have spine, knee or hip problem or are physically unfit should not go through it.

5. Mawphlang Sacred Forest

This is a must visit tourist attraction in Meghalaya. Journey is bit long but not strenuous. When we reached there, in our front was a vast stretch of open land and on its one end was vast tall green canvas as if someone has drawn it to the scale in straight line. It was sacred forest. Our special guide for the place had to lead us to its entrance which otherwise is most likely to be missed. And inside that lay a unique very vast jungle. Tall tress, road wet all along, chirping of birds all through, orange size lemon trees, different species of mushrooms, spectacular variety of trees, no ray of sun, pin drop silence, big hanging branches of trees, places where local heads occasionally visit to pray and make offerings to jungle God. We were warned not to take out even the smallest of leaf from said jungle. Legend has it that whosoever dared break said rule, soon was condemned to some unknown illness and ultimately paid with his/her life. So we did enjoy lemon juice of freshly plucked lemons inside jungle but the party had to be over then and there. one has to be there to believe and enjoy what really said Sacred Forest has to offer. After visiting said place, we met with visitors at Kaziranga who were part of tour group arranged by one reputed tour operator. We asked whether the said place was on their itinerary and... you guessed right. IT WAS NOT. After returning home, we checked with some other colleagues and friends who have recently visited Meghalaya about their experience of this awesome place. To our surprise they did not know about this place and one of them was one who is an avid traveller and explorer of the places. So my suggestion to the readers is - do include Mawphlang sacred forest in your itinerary when you visit Meghalaya. Good luck.
6. Roots Bridges

Although we would have loved to have done the double decker root bridge - we were short on both time and stamina so this one was a much easier one to get to - it took us a painless 10 minute walk down steps and a little more painful 15 minute walk up after ! We went in Feb - not really the best time to visit but this natural marvel was still breath taking with just a stream under verses a gushing river ! A visit to the neighbouring Mawlynnong Village known to be the cleanest in India can be done easily from here - if short of time skip the village but definitely do the bridge !!!

8. Cathedral of Mary Help of Christians

It isn't hard to figure why The Cathedral of Mary Help of Christians (popularly referred to as Cathedral Church here) is one of the major tourist attractions in Shillong. Perched on a hill, the Cathedral is one of the most beautiful churches. It has high arches and stained glass windows which add to its grandeur. Directly below, carved out of the hill is the Grotto Church (which gets all decked up and strung in lights for Christmas - the best time to visit the city). It has been accorded status of a pilgrimage centre, with services every Wednesday the year round. It's got a huge campus that houses a school among other institutions. Give it an hour to stroll around and explore - you won't be disappointed.
