Heading to Shillong with my boyfriend from Guwahati on 18th June for 3 days — first time in the Northeast and honestly a bit confused planning it.
We’re not into very touristy crowded spots, would rather explore quieter waterfalls, viewpoints, maybe some chill parks and light walks (nothing too intense). If anyone had been there recently, what places actually felt worth it and not overhyped?
Also trying to keep things budget-friendly — is renting a scooty practical there or should we rely on shared cabs? How easy is it to get around without spending too much?
How bad is the rain around that time? Like full-day washout or just on/off showers? Trying to figure out what kind of clothes/shoes to carry.
And food — what are some must-try local dishes or cafes that are actually good and not just Instagram-famous?
If anyone else is traveling around 18–20 June, especially couples, happy to connect and maybe explore together :)
Any real advice would really help!
