About the Guwahati Airport–Shillong route
Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (GAU) sits on the north-western edge of Guwahati, about 123 km from Shillong. Because the airport is further out than the city centre, the transfer is a little longer than a city pickup — plan for 3.5 to 4 hours including a short break.
Flights into GAU often land late, so a pre-arranged cab means no scrambling for a fair price at the rank after a long journey. Your driver tracks the flight, meets you at arrivals and heads straight up NH6 into the Khasi Hills.
The road skirts the huge Umiam (Barapani) Lake just before Shillong — an easy photo stop if you have daylight. Pick a sedan for couples or an SUV / Innova if you are travelling with family and luggage.
