Light pullover, folding umbrella

As the name suggests, "Meghalaya" , the Abode of Clouds can be rather unpredictable weatherwise. A sudden light shower followed by bright sunshine is common during the monsoon. A slight chill in the evenings can be expected. For winters, please please carry enough woolens if you don't want to be frozen duck.

Bara Bazar.. An absolute must.

A bit congested but those who can brave the crowds would witness a local market like no other. Hidden delights await those who savour local food and organic farm produce brought in directly from the dozens of villages surrounding Shillong. A word of caution..though basically safe, it's advisable not to carry too much cash or valuables due to the rush in this market
