Umananda Mandir HINDU TEMPLE (Peacock Island) long beach chalet The temple complex sits on a small forested river island, accessed by a 15-minute ride on a ferry ( 10 return, half hourly 8am to 4.30pm) from Kachari Ghat, which itself long beach chalet offers attractive long beach chalet afternoon river views. The Shiva temple, which sits atop the island, is less interesting than the boat ride out to it.

This sprawling hill station was the capital of British-created Assam from 1874 until 1972. Since becoming the state capital of Meghalaya it has rapidly developed into a typical modern Indian town and in doing so some of its older buildings have been demolished. In parts it still retains its charm, the air is refreshingly cool and it has become a favourite holiday destination for domestic tourists.
