Road Trip from Guwahati to Shillong

Beside the mighty Brahmaputra river lies the biggest city in Assam – Guwahati. It is often regarded as the gateway to all of North-East India. The plains of Guwahati are not without their own charms – like the magnificent Kamakhya Temple, sunset by the Brahmaputra, and other city attractions like its many cafes and food outlets. What makes it even more exciting is a serene road trip from Guwahati to.. well, anywhere in the North East of India – Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Tripura, Mizoram, and also Meghalaya – the capital of which, is Shillong.

Also known as the ‘Scotland of the East, Shillong’s sheer beauty, authentic food, and warmth make it a well-loved destination. This teeming city boasts of lush hills, stunning waterfalls, languid lakes, and a melting pot of cultures within it. Not just that, the rolling hills, breathtaking landscapes, and some of the best sceneries of Meghalaya only add to making your drive from Guwahati a memorable experience.

Road trip from Guwahati to Shillong

I’ve explored India quite extensively by road, and this July, I took my maiden trip to the North East from Goa. Having done dozens of road trips in the past, I have the car-booking process down to the T, but this time, I had a curveball thrown my way. I had initially booked a Zoomcar in Guwahati weeks before my trip (the earlier you book, the better the rates are, and the more car options you have) but 24 hours before I was to fly, they emailed me with a cancellation, giving no concrete reason why.

I’ve had bad experiences with Zoomcar in the past, too, and as annoyed as I was, I had to begin the hunt for a rental car in the middle of a workday, with only a day to spare for my trip. On a side note, Zoomcar has been permanently kicked out of any future travel plans I make.

So there I was, mentally preparing myself to have to spend up to 10,000 INR more for a last-minute car rental booking, when I came across a brand called FuFu Gadi. To my surprise, I found options for brand-new cars (barely 6 months old) at a significantly lower cost than the Zoomcar I booked weeks ago, even though I was booking at the eleventh hour.

The next day, I boarded my first flight of the day from Goa to Delhi – a journey of 2.5 hours.  A 2-hour stopover in Delhi ensued, followed by another 3-hour flight to Guwahati. To put that into perspective, I left home in Goa at 11 AM and walked out of Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport, Guwahati at 8 PM on the dot.

Our rental car from FuFu Gaadi was outside the airport, and we were in it and on our way, less than 10 minutes later. The car was in immaculate condition, clean as a whistle, and the handover procedure was extremely swift. I’ve booked several cars with Zoomcar and MyChoize over the years, and not once was the process as seamless as it was with FuFu Gaadi. I’d highly recommend the brand if you’re traveling in the North East!

How to get from Guwahati to Shillong?

After having spent the entire day in a plane, we did not want to drive another 20km to Guwahati city center for dinner and to find a place to crash for the night. So we drove around the vicinity of the airport looking for a place to stop for a quick meal and a comfortable hotel. We stopped at Grill Republica (Azara) to eat, and after finding 2-3 hotels at full occupancy, we settled for a decent hotel called Hotel Pamil Residency for Rs. 1600 a night. A clean bed and a good washroom were the only necessities for the night, which Hotel Pamil Residency had.

At 9 AM the next morning, after catching up with work, we set out to Shillong.  At a distance of 120 km from Guwahati, the drive to Shillong takes 2-3 hours on average – child’s play! Wide roads in great condition will see you through most of the journey, until you begin the uphill, winding climb to Shillong. With narrow and steep highways carved through the hills, this meandering road is an adventure in itself! The National Highway 6 connects Guwahati to Shillong and the road comes with a scenic view of the sky-kissing pines and hills of northern Meghalaya.

There’s no real need for taking a break on this 3-hour drive, but it’s always a good idea. We stopped at a place called Highway Dhaba Two, which had extremely clean washrooms, average food, and bad tea. You can grab a hot meal and buy packaged snacks to tide you through the rest of the journey.

What places can you visit on your drive from Guwahati to Shillong?

Your drive from Guwahati to Shillong covers many aesthetic and renowned spots where you can stop for a quick photoshoot or a meal. Here are three places you can consider visiting on your Guwahati-Shillong road trip:

The Breathtaking Barapani 

Also known as Barapani, the famous Umiam Lake of Shillong will charm you. It spreads over 200 sq km and boasts an unforgettable rich blue hue. Wrapped by green all along its banks, the magnificent lake in all its grandeur really brings out Meghalaya’s natural beauty. If you do not have the time to enter the lake premises, make a quick stop on the highway on your way to Shillong. Y

ou can bask in the majestic view that this spot provides and pair it with a cup of hot tea. Its popularity makes it home to plenty of make-shift stalls selling fresh fruits, vegetables, and local pickles. A stop at this lake really sets the mood for the rest of your adventure from Guwahati to Shillong.

Boating at Umiam Lake

Umiam Lake is an artificial waterbody on the way to Shillong. If you can spare the time to do it, consider a pit stop at this picturesque spot. Its gorgeous landscape dotted with tree-covered hills that merge with the clear Meghalaya sky will have you mesmerized. Consider taking a small snack break here or indulge in boating if you have more time on your hands. There are boating and speed-boating provisions available at the lake, along with a small restaurant if you wish to grab a bite. 

Pickle-Pineapple-Squash shopping at Nongpoh

Nongpoh is a dreamy little village on your way from Guwahati to Shillong. Apart from its quaint beauty, it is also well-known for its impressive collection of locally made pickles, and home-grown pineapples and squashes.

A lot of local commuters, including myself, can vouch for the sweetness of Meghalaya’s pineapples and squashes, especially the ones found in Nongpoh, for they are one of the finest in the region. Apart from that, if you are a fan of pickles – do consider buying a jar. In Nongpoh, you will find a variety of pickles made from vegetables, chilies, pork, and beef at stalls on either side of the highway. These flavourful preparations will have you coming back for more.

Your drive serves as an exciting trailer for the adventures that will follow. You get a peek into the natural beauty of Meghalaya, the traffic-choked streets of Shillong, the succulent food that awaits you, and the vibrant cultural diversity of North East India. Once you are in Shillong, that’s where your adventure begins. Depending on your preferences, you can just explore the city or visit other destinations nearby.

Within Shillong, you can shop at the Police Bazaar, spend a day at the stunning Ward’s Lake, pack a lunch and a book to spend a day at the Lady Hydari Park, or indulge in a sumptuous meal at the City Hut Dhaba. If you want to explore more of Meghalaya, Shillong makes places like Cherrapunjee, Dawki, and Laitlum really accessible. So no matter what you like doing on your adventures in the northeast, it all starts with a memorable road trip from Guwahati to Shillong.

Write little more mentioning them By the way I stayed in Goa for 2years during the pandemic. My love for Goa is never ending. Hope you keep writing more interesting trips that u make. Thanks for the FuFu gari will check on it

Thanks for reading, Manashi! I don’t recall writing about a hotel with tight security. In Guwahati, I only stayed at Hotel Pamil for one night. Was this in Shillong or somewhere else? If in Shillong, I have another blog coming up on all the places I stayed at there. Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay in Goa!

Earlier the lake was known as the Ka Kshaid Lai Pateng Khohsiew by the locals, which means the Three Step Waterfall. Later, it was renamed by the Britishers as the Elephant Falls because a rock near the falls resembled an elephant. However, the rock was destroyed due to an earthquake in 1897. Though you can visit it in any month, monsoons are the best time to witness the waterfall in its full might.

Shillong Peak

Situated at an elevation of 1965 metres, Shillong Peak is known to be the highest point in the city. It is in the Air force base and hosts the radar station of the Indian Air Force. Covered with fogs and abundant greenery, it is a must-visit place in Shillong. It is a spot to get breathtaking views of the city, waterfalls, and plains of Bangladesh and Himalayan peaks. Also, trekking is the best activity to make the most of your time here on Shillong Peak.

Also known as Barapani Lake, Umiam Lake is a major attraction for people, making Guwahati to Shillong distance, route, and trip the most pleasant experience. Spreading over 220 square km., Umiam Lake is a striking reservoir, often compared to the gorgeous lakes of Scotland. It is a popular picnic spot and a venue to enjoy water sports and other adventure activities, including boating, yachting, water cycling, cruising, kayaking, etc. You can also enjoy camping at Lumpongdeng Island, an isolated piece of land in the reservoir. The lake also features a water sports complex, Orchid Tourist Home, and a beautiful garden - Lum Nehru Park at the shore.

Phan Nonglait Park

Previously known as Lady Hydari Park, Phan Nonglait Park is a great place to visit in Shillong near Police Bazar. Built-in Japanese style, this park is home to a mini zoo having different species of raptors, antelope, and small mammals. This exceptionally picturesque lake is dotted with a wide variety of trees, beautiful ponds, and a museum. A wonderland for all Seasons, Phan Nonglait Park attracts tourists with its striking landscape and peaceful surroundings. Here, you can sit and relax with your family and friends, witness Himalayan Black Bears, visit Butterfly Park, and wander around the pathways to admire the scenery. Make sure to include this park in your Guwahati to Shillong sightseeing package.

Laitlum Canyons

Perched atop the Khasi Hills, Laitlum Canyons is a heaven for trekking and adventure lovers. While the terrain is a bit tough to navigate, it offers some of the most striking views and the purest air to breathe. Situated amid the majestic hills and valleys, the Laitlum Canyons is a magical place where you can witness the verdant and fascinating panorama of Meghalaya. Here, the beautiful and gurgling Laitlum stream and its old-fashioned yet picturesque wooden bridge make people stare and admire the magical landscape surrounding them. Laitlum Canyons is an off-beat and less crowded place in Shillong, thus offering a peaceful and secluded spot to enjoy quiet moments.

How to get from Guwahati to Shillong and Cherrapunjee

A quick guide on how to get from Guwahati to Shillong and Cherrapunjee. This guide focusses on getting from Guwahati to Shillong and Cherrapunjee by public transport or by car. If you are driving your own car, scroll down for a route map. 

Here’s a quick guide on how to get from Guwahati to Shillong and Cherrapunjee.

How to get from Guwahati to Shillong by public transport

Although the Meghalaya Tourism website state that regular buses to Shillong leave from the Inter State Bus Terminal, there were no buses from Guwahati to Shillong when we arrived there. Apparently, there are two private buses, one at 6:00 and one at 17:00, but these times are terrible. If you want to travel from Guwahati to Shillong outside of those times, you have to travel by Sumo.

Our shared Sumo at a snack stop

Sumos are basically shared Jeep taxis. They’re the most common form of travel between cities and villages in the northeast. Sumos from Guwahati to Shillong leave from Khanapara bus stand. To get there, jump on a bus leaving from G.S. Road near the train station. Most buses going from here, driving away from the train station, will pass here. Just ask the hawker. A ticket to Khanapara is 10 Rs. per person .

Looking for accommodation in Guwahati? Check out the best deals on Booking !

At Khanapara, you’ll be accosted by plenty of Sumo hawkers. It’s good to walk around a bit, since Sumo’s don’t leave until full. So if you enter an empty Sumo, you might have to wait for a while. Some drivers will try to get you to charter the whole Sumo. Friendly but firmly decline their offer (unless you want to, of course).

Getting from Guwahati to Shillong by shared Sumo costs 170 Rs. per person . In our experience, drivers are honest about the fare, but this being India, be wary of shysters. 170 Rs. is the standard price. It takes 2-3 hours to get from Guwahati to Shillong.

Note:  There might be Sumos leaving from Guwahati’s train station to Shillong. From here the price is 10-20 Rs. per person more. If bus services resume, a bus to Shillong from Guwahati should cost 100 – 130 Rs. per person.

How to get from Shillong to Cherrapunjee (Sohra) by public transport

Most people travel from Guwahati to Shillong to visit Cherrapunjee. To get from Shillong to Cherranpunjee you’ll have to take another Sumo. There are several Sumo stands in Shillong, making finding the right one a bit tricky. Taxi drivers aren’t helpful, since they’ll just want to drive you to Cherranpunjee themselves.

Shillong is a nice place to visit for a couple of days. Check out the best hotel deals here !

The Shillong to Cherrapunjee Sumo stand is located on the second floor of a dark parking garage. It’s marked on Google Maps. There will be a written sign saying Sohra (another name for Cherrapunjee) above two parking lots.

A ride from Shillong to Cherrapunjee costs 70 Rs. per person . The first driver wanted to charge us more to put our luggage on the roof of the car—which is BS—so we waited about half an hour for another Sumo to go. Sumos from Shillong to Cherranpunjee go when full. It takes 1.5-2 hours to get from Shillong to Cherrapunjee.

Cherrapunjee is one of the wettest places in India. Wise visitors (unlike us) bring umbrellas and rain covers for bags.

Staying in Cherrapunjee and visiting Nongriat

Most people visit Cherrapunjee as a jumping-off base for visiting Nongriat and various root bridges . Nongriat is a small Kashi village in the jungle, home to several living root bridges, of which one is a magnificent double-decker. Nongriat can only be visited by walking for about 1.5-2 hours from nearby Tyrna, and the surroundings are absolutely gorgeous. We highly recommend it.

There are several cheap sleeping options in lower Cherrapunjee/Sohra, about 20 minutes walking downhill from the main town.

By The Way Hostel charges 250 Rs. per person , and D-Cloud charges 300-350 Rs. per person . Accommodation is simple, and a little overpriced if you’re not alone, but you don’t have many other options. There are a handful of nondescript restaurants on the “main” street near By The Way.

Sunset in Cherrapunjee

To get from Cherrapunjee to Nongriat, you can take an early morning bus from near By the Way, which leaves around 9:30, or a taxi to Tyrna.

A taxi should cost 250 Rs ., but don’t be surprised if you have to pay 350-400 Rs . The owner of By the Way can give more information on how to get to Tyrna by bus. You can also walk to Tyrna, which will take a couple of hours. From Tyrna, it takes about 1.5-2 hours to reach Nongriat by way of 2,500 steep stairs through the jungle.

The steep walk to Nongriat

There are several basic sleeping options available in Nongriat, of which Serene Guest House is the most well known. It’s best to just show up. Even if they’re full, the owner, Byron, will arrange something for you. Serene charges 300 Rs. per person , and a scrumptious all-you-can-eat dinner is available daily for  130 Rs. per person .

Liked your blog. Its helpful ?

Useful piece of information about Assam. Very well described and the pictures are extremely beautiful. Thank you for sharing this kind of valuable and some unique information. If you have any requirements for a cab then you can book a cab from Bharat Taxi.

Hi, please advise how can i reach meghalaya from Gowhati railway station in cheapest way.

Do you suggest to rent a 2 wheeler? (I am used to travel 200-300km in a day) and if yes, from where should I rent it? (from Guwahati to from Shillong)

I’m not sure where you can rent bikes, but a motorbike would certainly be perfect for exploring the area! Just make sure to be careful, the roads can get muddy and slippery in the rain.

great guidence, awesom, thnx

Hi Alex, thank you so much for a detailed explanation for travel. However, the train I’ve booked the destination is Kamakhya junction. Would you know any route to reach the destined Khanapara?

Do these sumo car drivers issue any receipt for the taxi journeys undertaken, for the purpose of my LTC bill submission?
