    Shillong · Meghalaya · Northeast India — real drive times

    Hi! I’m the XTSY trip assistant. Tell me where you’d like to go in Shillong, Meghalaya or anywhere in Northeast India, how many days you have and who’s coming, and I’ll plan it day by day with real drive times.

    I can also answer questions about stays, prices, permits and the best time to visit.

    Drive times are estimates; the XTSY desk confirms every plan before you pay. XTSY’s own stay is in New Shillong Township — elsewhere we book trusted partners. How it works

    Planning questions

    XTSY Travellers Hostel on Mawdiangdiang Road, New Shillong Township (near IIM & NIFT Shillong): dorm beds from ₹399, a women-only dorm, King Double rooms at ₹2,399 and Experience by XTSY, India’s First Stargaze Glamp, at ₹5,999 a night, all inclusive. TAB Bistro is on site and pets are welcome (cats and birds; dogs by breed and size).

    Five days covers Shillong, Cherrapunji and Dawki–Mawlynnong as day trips from a Shillong base, plus arrival and departure via Guwahati. Add a day for the Nongriat double decker root bridge trek and 3–4 days for the Garo Hills (Wari Chora, Siju).

    No. Wari Chora is near Baghmara in the South Garo Hills, about 10.5 h by road from Shillong. Plan at least three extra days with nights at a partner guesthouse in Baghmara; the XTSY desk arranges it.

    Yes. Dawki is about 2.5 h from XTSY in New Shillong, so you can combine it with Mawlynnong and be back for dinner. For a slower trip, add a night at the partner riverside camp.

    XTSY’s own property is only in New Shillong Township. Everywhere else in Northeast India (Garo Hills, Kaziranga, Tawang, Kohima, Sikkim and more), XTSY books trusted partner stays, cabs and guides and stays your single point of contact.

    Yes. Plans are free and instant. When you’re happy, send the plan to the XTSY desk and we confirm stays, transport and prices on WhatsApp before you pay anything.
