Shillong, Meghalaya's capital, is a convenient base for exploring the Khasi Hills. A Shillong trip from Trivandrum can include Elephant Falls, Umiam Lake, Shillong Peak, Police Bazaar, Ward’s Lake, and Mawphlang Sacred Grove.

The best time to visit Shillong depends on the experience travellers prefer.
