The plan

  • Meet your fellow travellers at the Guwahati Railway Station by 10 AM. Say hello to new faces who will soon become travel buddies.
  • Grab breakfast on your own before the journey begins.
  • Begin the drive to Shillong, stopping by the serene Umiam Lake en route. Often blanketed in mist, this peaceful waterbody offers a perfect first glimpse of Meghalaya’s beauty.
  • Reach Zostel Shillong for your stay for the night. Set in a cosy villa with artistic decor and rooftop views, the hostel is a hub of good vibes.
  • Settle in, unwind, and enjoy a hearty dinner at Zostel Shillong.

Shillong at a glance:

The capital of Meghalaya, Shillong, is a modern Indian city that still retains its old-world charm in a few pockets. Shillong is best known for cafes, love for rock music, archery, and football, and driving around in spruced-up automobiles will make you fall in love with the city.

I recently had the pleasure of going on a trip with ZO Trips and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I booked the trip, everything was taken care of seamlessly. Special shoutout to our guide, Steve, who was absolutely fantastic! The journey can’t be the way it was without Steve .His knowledge, enthusiasm, and attention to detail made our journey so much more enjoyable that can’t be expressed in words. Never had a guide like him who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. And to our driver, Apubhai, a huge thank you! Not only did he get us safely to our destinations, but he also made the journey a blast with his killer humour and fun vibes! 🤣 Little jokes, big laughs, and safe rides – what more could you ask for?The trip was perfectly planned, and the accommodations were great. The scenic spots we visited were breathtaking. Thank you, ZO Trips, for an amazing experience! Can't wait to travel with you again. Steve and Appu , you've made a loyal customer for life! 🌟"

Had an amazing trip! Our trip captain, Devesh, was fantastic and kept everything so organized. The itinerary was perfectly designed and we even had time to add extra stops! Just a small note for improvement: the food at Sissu could use a little upgrade.

This was an unforgettable trip which was very well organised. Amazing memories with amazing people. Yuvraj as a co-ordinator was the best person I have met this year. There was never a moment during the trip where I had to think about what to do. He was ready with everything. A great person with amazing conversation skills. Sweet and amazing human being. In future if there is a trip which has him as our co-ordinator I am ready to join without any thought for the location. He ensured that everyone had a great time and made everyone feel very comfortable.
