About the Guwahati–Cherrapunji route
Cherrapunji lies about 150 km from Guwahati, beyond Shillong on the southern edge of the Khasi Hills. The drive takes 4.5 to 5 hours via NH6, passing Umiam Lake and Shillong before climbing onto the Sohra plateau.
Booking a through-cab from Guwahati saves you changing vehicles in Shillong and lets you add a quick Umiam Lake or Shillong viewpoint stop on the way. Many travellers heading straight for the Cherrapunji waterfalls and root bridges prefer this direct transfer.
Given the distance and hill terrain, an SUV / Innova is the comfortable choice, though a sedan works well for couples travelling light. Our drivers are based in Shillong, so the fare already includes the empty return drive from Cherrapunji.
