Shillong, often called the Scotland of the East, is known for its pine-covered hills, pleasant weather, lively markets, and Khasi culture. It is also a convenient base for exploring other parts of Meghalaya. Browse Shillong Tour Packages to compare itineraries and find a trip that fits your budget and schedule.
If you have 6 to 8 days, consider exploring more of Meghalaya beyond Shillong. Cherrapunji is known for its waterfalls, caves, and scenic viewpoints, while Dawki is famous for the clear waters of the Umngot River. You can also visit Mawlynnong, explore a living root bridge, or plan a trek if you enjoy outdoor activities. Longer itineraries give you more time to explore without rushing between destinations.
Shillong is suitable for couples, families, friends, and solo travellers. Couples can enjoy scenic drives, quiet stays, and waterfall visits through Shillong Honeymoon Packages. If you prefer travelling with other people, Shillong Group Tour Packages offer planned itineraries that cover popular places across Meghalaya. Families can also choose trips with comfortable stays and sightseeing suited to different age groups.
March and April are good months for pleasant weather and exploring the hills. October and November are also popular, as the monsoon begins to ease and the landscapes remain green. From May to September, Meghalaya receives heavy rainfall, making waterfalls impressive but sometimes affecting road travel and outdoor plans. November to February is generally drier and suitable for sightseeing and trekking, though mornings and evenings can be cold. Carry a light jacket and rain protection because the weather can change quickly.
Some of Shillong’s most popular attractions include Elephant Falls, Umiam Lake, Shillong Peak, Ward’s Lake, and Laitlum Canyon. For a longer day trip, head to Cherrapunji to see Nohkalikai Falls, Seven Sisters Falls, and Mawsmai Cave. Dawki is worth visiting for a boat ride on the Umngot River, while Mawlynnong offers village walks and access to a living root bridge. Choose the places based on your trip duration and the road conditions during your visit.
To reach Shillong from Bangalore, you can take a flight to Guwahati, the nearest major airport, and continue by road. The drive from Guwahati to Shillong usually takes around 3 to 4 hours, depending on traffic and weather. You can also travel to Guwahati by train and arrange a taxi or shared transfer to Shillong. Check your arrival time before booking a road transfer, especially if your flight reaches late in the evening.
Package inclusions vary depending on the itinerary. Selected packages may cover accommodation, breakfast, local transfers, sightseeing, and guided activities. Flights from Bangalore, additional meals, entry fees, and optional activities may cost extra unless listed as inclusions. Check the details carefully before booking so you know what is covered and can plan your spending.
