About the Guwahati Railway Station–Shillong route
Guwahati Railway Station (GHY) is one of the busiest arrival points for Meghalaya-bound travellers. Shillong is about 105 km away — roughly 3 to 3.5 hours by road via NH6, climbing into the Khasi Hills past Umiam (Barapani) Lake.
Trains often arrive early in the morning or late at night, so a pre-arranged cab means a driver is ready the moment you step out, rather than negotiating with the station taxi rank after a long journey. Your driver helps with luggage and heads straight for the hills.
Pick a sedan for couples, an SUV for more room, or an Ertiga or Innova for families with luggage. Every fare below is a one-way price with no return charge.
