I had been planning to break away
for a few days from the polluted environment of Delhi. So, I browsed about few
places on the internet and ultimately zeroed down upon Meghalaya in the North
East part of India where the Air Quality Index (AQI) of Shillong (Meghalaya’s
capital) was being shown by the AirVisual
mobile App around 60-70 as compared to about 300 in Delhi !
I discussed with my fiend Amit
Burman and he was ready, as ever, to take this adventure cum excursion trip.
So, we booked our air tickets and finalised a driver who was to pick us from
Gauhati Airport and drop us back there after taking us to different places in
Meghalaya wherever we wanted to, as our programme was flexible. His name was Sameer (9101438016) . He was referred
to me by a friend Geeta who had done Meghalaya trip solo recently in October
2018 with him. (This about 24 year boy turned out to be very helpful and even
booked accommodation for us in Cherrapunji and Dawki on our behalf). ..................
