Shillong Golf Course, considered among biggest golf courses in Asia is another attraction of the city. Other must visit places during Shillong vacations include Don Bosco Museum, Wards Lake, Lady Hydari Park, Butterfly Museum and State Central Library. Cherrapunjee, officially known as Sohra, is 56 kms from Shillong, and a "must see" destination for all tourists. It also known the wettest place in the earth with a record rainfall.
