In Full Bloom: Believe It Or Not, These Stunning Images Of Cherry Blossoms Are From Shillong

Meghalaya turns pink as the beautiful cherry blossoms take over the cityscapes.

Every year, around November, Shillong organizes the Cherry Blossom Festival to exhibit this wonder of nature which could easily trump a similar fest organised in China and Japan.

These gorgeous and vibrant flowers grow in the wild but can be spotted across the state during this time of the year.

Besides Shillong, Japan too is known for its cherry blossom festival.??

If you missed the cherry blossom season in Japan, Paris or DC, India's Shillong is also one of the most sought after destinations to watch the streets turn pink.

Meghalaya turns into a cherry blossom wonderland and is visited by thousands of globetrotters.

Similarly, Japan and Paris too have cherry blossom days when the whole city turns all the more romantic and beautiful.

The cherry blossoms, also known as Prunus Cerasoides, are a gift from the Himalayas, and cover the whole east and west Khasi hills.?

Trees and streets in Shillong are painted with a splash of pink cherry blossoms.

"I always like to be outdoors this season. I think Shillong is the most happening place after Japan for cherry-blossoms," says a resident of Shillong.
