India

Shillong is a city of 132,842 people in Meghalaya, in north-eastern India. It uses Indian Standard Time and is served by Shillong Airport (SHL), the airport to check when planning an arrival by air.

Shillong is inland, so there are no notable beaches within 40 kilometres. The main seasonal factor for a visit is Meghalaya’s heavy monsoon rainfall, with the cooler, drier part of the year generally more suitable for exploring the city and surrounding area.
