Around the stay

Things to do nearby.

Ward's Lake sits right in the city center. It is a 19th-century horseshoe-shaped lake surrounded by rhododendron walks and garden paths, where you can rent paddle boats for an hour on the water.

Don Bosco Museum of Indigenous Cultures stands seven storeys high in Mawlai. It houses detailed galleries showcasing the traditions, clothing, and heritage of Northeast India's indigenous tribes.

Elephant Falls is located 12km from town. The three-tier waterfall has marked walking steps down to the base, making it an easy half-day trip for families.

Shillong Peak rises to 1,965 meters above sea level. On clear mornings, the lookout point gives wide views across the entire Shillong valley and surrounding ridges.

Lady Hydari Park and Mini Zoo sits 1km from Police Bazar. It offers manicured lawns, flower beds, and a quick walk for travelers with young children.

Laitlum Canyons sits 25km east of Shillong. Often called the end of the hills, the steep canyon edges open to deep green gorges and misty valleys below.

Mawphlang Sacred Grove lies 25km southwest. This ancient Khasi sacred forest preserves thick native canopy and requires a local village guide to walk through its protected trails.

Cathedral of Mary Help of Christians is a blue Gothic church built in 1936, standing near the heart of the city with high vaulted ceilings and stained glass windows.

Logistics

Getting there.

Shillong Airport at Umroi sits 30km away. Flights here are limited and weather-dependent, operating mostly through Kolkata.

Guwahati Airport is 100km away. This is the main air hub for Meghalaya, requiring a three-hour drive along National Highway 6.

Guwahati Railway Station sits 100km from the property. Since Meghalaya has no rail network, this remains the primary train connection for arriving travelers.

Police Bazar serves as the central transport hub in Shillong for shared cabs and local taxis.

Umiam Lake sits 17km along the Guwahati road. It makes a natural sunset stop when driving up into the hills.

Cherrapunji sits 53km south, about a two-hour drive away, for travelers heading out to see waterfalls and stone caves.

Dawki lies 95km south along the Bangladesh border, known for the clear waters of the Umngot River.

Seasons

Best time to visit.

October through April brings clear skies, crisp hill air, and open valley views across the Khasi Hills. Days are cool and sunny, ideal for driving out to canyon viewpoints and taking forest walks.

Monsoon season runs from June through September. Heavy rains wash over Shillong and turn the surrounding hills vibrant green. While sight-seeing can be slowed down by rainstorms, waterfalls run at full capacity during these months.
