Shillong : How to Reach ? What to do ?

shashank.aggarwal · May 20th, 2008, 15:14

My family is planning to go to Shillong, and no one has any clue about the place.

I welcome any kind of information that anyone can share in relation to Shillong.

The basic thing first, hot to reach there ?

I think you hire a vehicle from the Guwahati airport to shillong.

friends had done it..... but dont remember any more details.

Buses also operate on this route. But hiring a car will be the best option. From what I have read drop to Shillong from Guwahati should cost around Rs. 1200 or so. Cherapunjee is a must visit place. Day trip is possible from Shillong.

For the past one month I have come across some 5 - 6 write up in different news papers & magazines about Meghalaya & was very much impressed with the state & would love to visit but I know it will not be in near future.

I guess they would like to have a car with them all the time..depending on what all places are there to see in Shillong..

They are total opposite to me, I am touch down and holiday type guy, but they are touring people...

Y'day booked tickets for Guwahati, Jetlite, total cost two and fro for 3 passengers is around Rs.22,000. Leaving on 9th and returning on 16th.

Have been to Shillong years back
You get buses and share a taxis outside guwahti station.
Since you are three of you you can work out if share a taxi makes a lot of difference vis a vis a full one.In share a taxi no return charge is paid.
Reg what to see soak up the atmosphere of the place .it is considedred to be Scotland of the East.
