If you&#8217;re not an outdoor kind of person, well I urge you to try once and believe me you will never regret your decision. If you grew up in the city with malls and stores and man-made parks, well you&#8217;ll miss not knowing how going on a picnic is like. Meghalaya is one perfect place for that experience and I&#8217;m not talking about enjoying the water in swimming pools but actual crystal clear rivers, beautiful hillocks surroundings, tall pines and evergreen trees. If you have a beautiful picture in your imagination right now, I can say it could be better. You must&#8217;ve heard about the beautiful Sohra (<a href=\"https:\/\/nexplore.org\/destinations\/Meghalaya\/cherrapunji.php\">Cherrapunjee<\/a>) and it&#8217;s sightseeing spots and tourist attractions every now and then but there&#8217;s always more, somewhere where you can relax, cook outdoors, stay in camp for the night, have a good get together time and of course a lot of awesome selfies to flaunt your friends about your picnic in the best tourist attractions and picnic places in Shillong.<\/p>\n<h2>Here I listed 5 best tourist places near
