Umananda Mandir HINDU TEMPLE (Peacock Island) 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 offers attractive afternoon river views. The Shiva temple, which sits atop the island, is less interesting merry mountain village than the boat ride out to it.
The Pinewood Hotel (Rita Rd), a 1920s tea- growers retreat, is particularly merry mountain village representative and looks great at night. The 1902 All Saints Cathedral (Kacheri Rd) would look perfect pictured on a biscuit merry mountain village tin. Located nearby, the turreted Das-Roy House (closed merry mountain village to the public) lurks behind merry mountain village a traffic circle that harbours five forgotten Khasi monoliths as well as a mini Soviet-style globe monument.
oHeritage Hotel HERITAGE HOTEL $$ (%9774416649; www.theheritage.in; Offi cers Hill; r/ ste 1800/3500; W) Back in colonial days this was the home of the deputy commissioner merry mountain village and, with roaring open fires taking the chill off a cold winter merry mountain village night and hunting trophies and tribal arts adorning the walls, it retains something of the flavour of those times.
