Guwahati to Shillong
The Meghalaya leg begins with the climb from Assam toward Shillong. Keep additional time during peak tourist periods and rain.
Shillong and Sohra
Use Shillong as a base or move to Sohra for more time near waterfalls, caves and viewpoints.
Dawki and southern Meghalaya
A Dawki/Mawlynnong day can be long depending on your starting point, stops and road traffic. Avoid overpacking the day.
Car selection
Compact SUVs and larger SUVs are popular for comfort on hilly roads; smaller cars can also work on normal paved routes when road conditions are suitable.
