The most common route is via National Highway 6 (NH6), which stretches approximately 100 kilometres between Guwahati and Shillong, taking around 2.5 to 3 hours by car or bus. Private taxis, shared cabs, and state-run buses regularly operate on this route. The drive is known for its breathtaking views of the Khasi Hills, mist-covered landscapes, and pine forests, making the journey a pleasant experience. Direct bus services, including those by the Meghalaya Transport Corporation (MTC) and private operators, also run from Guwahati, and some services connect Shillong to cities like Silchar and Tura within Meghalaya. Road travel provides the flexibility of stopping at scenic viewpoints along the way.<br \/><br \/>Book here <a href=\"https:\/\/ptwholidays.com\/india-holiday-destinations\/meghalaya-tour-packages\/\"><strong>Meghalaya Tour Packages<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f58860 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7f58860\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-large\">Local Transportation in Shillong<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f605da elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3f605da\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Local transportation in Shillong is quite accessible, with several options available for travellers to get around the city. The most common and convenient mode of transportation is shared taxis, which are plentiful and operate on fixed routes within the city.
