Framing itself as the Khasi cultural centre, Smit hosts the major fi ve-day Nongkrem Festival (October). This features animal sacrifices and a curious slow-motion shuffling dance performed in full costume in front of the thatched bamboo palace of the local syiem (traditional ruler). 550 village road breckenridge co Smit is 11km from Shillong, 4km off the Jowai road.
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 550 village road breckenridge co its charm, the air is refreshingly cool and it has become a favourite holiday destination for domestic tourists.
