Hey everyone,

I’m planning to stay in Northeast India for about 3–4 weeks next month along with 2–3 friends (possibly up to 5–6 max). We all work remotely, so our main priority is having a stable place to live and work from.

What we’re looking for:

• A simple 1BHK/2BHK or homestay (not luxury, just clean and livable)
• Reliable internet (WiFi preferred, but good mobile network is a must)
• A place where we can cook our own food (kitchen access is important)
• A calm, chill environment (not looking for heavy tourism or partying)
• Preferably somewhere with hills/nature where we can go for walks in the evenings

Bonus (not mandatory):

• A decent gym nearby (MMA gym would be amazing, but a normal gym is totally fine)

Other questions:

• Which area is best to stay for a month? (Shillong vs Guwahati or nearby areas)
• Is it easy to get monthly rentals directly from homestays/owners?
• How reliable is mobile internet (Jio/Airtel) for remote work?
• What’s the best way to get around locally? (Walk, rent a scooty, taxis, etc.)
• Any specific areas or stays you’d recommend avoiding?

Would really appreciate any suggestions or contacts for good homestays.
