Visit Cherry Blossom festival in Shillong and Experience living and mortality of human life

A Picture speaks a thousand worlds. Nature is like human life just like our life keeps changing in the same way nature also have the same tendency. Adding to this charm of nature, cherry blossom festival in Shillong needs a special mention here as it changes the entire landscape of the place.   The blooming of these flowers and their short life often symbolise the fleeting form of nature, which keeps changing itself from time to time. Due to its similarity with human life, which is beautiful and yet has to come to an end, Japan celebrates life and mortality during the blooming of cherry blossom. The good news is, the Government of Meghalaya has decided to celebrate Indian cherry blossom festival in Shillong through the second instalment of the International Cherry Blossom Festival in November, 2017.

Let me tell you that the festival is scheduled to take place from November 8–11, at a time when the wooded forests of Shillong will turn pink due to the blooming of thousands of cherry blossoms across the entire region. As a move for the preparation of this festival, cherry trees have been planted at Mawphlang, New Shillong, Ward’s Lake and the Umiam Lake-Shillong road.
