How to Reach Shillong
By Air — Shillong Airport (SHL) or Guwahati Airport (GAU):
Shillong Airport is located 30 km from Shillong City. It offers limited services, with only IndiGo operating on the Kolkata-Shillong route. On the other hand, Guwahati Airport is the most practical option, as it is well connected to major Indian cities like Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Bangalore.
You can take a 1-3 hour flight from any of these cities to Guwahati Airport. The return flight cost ranges from INR 8,000 to INR 15,000 per person.
Cab services cost INR 800 to INR 1,200 per seat for a shared cab and INR 3,000 to INR 6,000 for a private car.
By Road — From Guwahati
From Guwahati, you can enjoy a scenic cab ride via NH6 to Shillong. You will pass through the Meghalaya hills after passing the Assam plains. This drive will take you around 3 hours to travel 100 km and reach Shillong. If you are on a budget Meghalaya trip with a Shillong-specific focus, you can take a shared sumo taxi from the Guwahati ISBT to Shillong.
Cab services cost INR 800 to INR 1,200 per seat for a shared cab and INR 3,000 to INR 6,000 for a private car.
