About the Cherrapunji–Shillong route
The return from Cherrapunji to Shillong is a short, scenic 54 km that takes about 1.5 to 2 hours along the Sohra road. It is the same route many take outbound, but downhill-bound it is a relaxed end to a full waterfalls-and-caves day.
A pre-booked private cab means you set the departure time — squeeze in a last viewpoint at Mawkdok Dympep Valley, or leave early to reach Shillong for the evening at Police Bazar.
