Why Christmas week needs planning now
Christmas and New Year are the busiest days of the year in Shillong. Good hotels in Shillong, Sohra and Dawki are often full weeks ahead, and the cars and drivers that know these roads get booked with them.
Send your dates now and we hold the plan, check live hotel availability and send the full price. You confirm with a 10% advance by UPI; the rest is paid during the trip.
