Airways and Railways

Nearby airports-
1. Shillong Airport (21 KM from venue)
2. Guwahati Airport (127 KM from venue)

Note- Shillong Airport has direct flights from Guwahati, Kolkata and Delhi only, while Guwahati Airport has direct flights from many major cities of India. Transportation option to Shillong are available directly from Guwahati airport itself, so for many people, it would make more sense to fly to Guwahati Airport instead of Shillong Airport.

Nearby train stations-
1. Guwahati Railway Station (105 KM from venue)
2. Kamakhya Junction Railway Station (115 KM from venue)

**Note- Both of the two stations are situated in Guwahati, Assam and have good railway connectivity to the rest of the country. Transportation options directly to Shillong are available from both of these stations.

Transportation from Guwahati to Shillong

**Note- It's quite difficult to find direct conveyance from Kamakhya Junction to Shillong, so its better to first head towards Paltan Bazaar from local Rickshaws that charge ₹200 or with OLA, UBER or Rapido and then change to Taxi/Sumo for Shillong.

**Note- NEHU lies before main city. So, ask your driver to take you through the road that leads to NEHU without taking you to the main city. Basically ask him to take the left turn from ISBT Shillong because due to traffic it will take a lot of time for you to come back to NEHU via a different non-Highway taxi path.

Reaching the Venue

Tentative Cab Fares to NEHU, Shillong and Transit Times

Note: The prices and traffic may vary due to natural fluctuation. Only RAPIDO is operational in Shillong.
