“A simple home in Lad Rymbai, a town in Meghalaya's Jaintia Hills. Four bedrooms and four baths, a good space for families and groups of up to eight. The rooms are clean, the washrooms hygienic. It’s a place that feels homely, with views over the town lights at night. A quiet base to explore a different side of Meghalaya, away from the main tourist trail.”

A day at the house

What's here

The view from the home looks out over the rooftops of Lad Rymbai, a working town in the Jaintia Hills. At dusk, the sky softens over the distant hills, and at night, the town lights up below. This is a simple, straightforward stay for those exploring this side of Meghalaya. The home has four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, comfortably accommodating a group or family of up to eight. The space is kept neat and clean, with functional furniture and, as one guest noted, "the washrooms are very hygienic." It's a place designed to feel private and without fuss. As one family wrote, "There is no disturbance from the staffs. Everything is very good. The area is very peaceful." There is a small, casual outdoor area with benches to sit out at. The focus here is on providing a clean, secure, and quiet space to return to after a day of driving the hill roads. It’s what one guest called, "A good guest house for family & kids."

Around the stay

Things to do nearby.

Lad Rymbai is in the Jaintia Hills, placing you in a different part of Meghalaya than the popular Shillong-Cherrapunji circuit. This gives you closer access to the sights of this region.

The Umngot river at Dawki is about a 2-3 hour drive away. The water here is famously clear, especially from January to March, allowing you to see the riverbed stones from your boat. It’s a popular spot for boating and a glimpse across the border into Bangladesh.

While the more famous attractions of the Khasi Hills are further, they can be visited on a long day trip. Nohkalikai Falls, India's tallest plunge waterfall, is a powerful sight, especially in the post-monsoon months. The living root bridges, particularly the double-decker bridge in Nongriat, require a significant trek of over 3,500 steps down into a valley. The Mawsmai and Krem Phyllut caves near Cherrapunji offer a glimpse into the vast cave systems of Meghalaya. Mawlynnong, known as Asia's cleanest village, is a small, well-kept community with a sky walk made of bamboo.

Logistics

Getting there.

The nearest major airport and railhead is in Guwahati, Assam (GAU), about 100km from Shillong. From Guwahati, it’s a 5-6 hour drive to Lad Rymbai. The smaller Shillong airport at Umroi (SHL) is closer but has limited flight connectivity. From either airport, it's best to hire a private taxi for the entire duration of your trip for easy travel between sights. Lad Rymbai is located on the main highway connecting Shillong to Silchar.

Seasons

Best time to visit.

The best season to visit the Khasi and Jaintia Hills is from October to April, when the weather is dry and the skies are generally clear. The monsoon, from June to September, brings some of the world's heaviest rainfall, with over 10,000mm. During this time, some waterfalls and caves may be closed, but the landscape is intensely, vividly green.
