A Shillong homestay is the practical first night of almost every Meghalaya tour package from Guwahati. You arrive tired from the highway; you want a heater, a real dinner, and a host who can tell you whether Sohra is in cloud tomorrow.
Leafyinn prefers quiet neighbourhoods over a room above Police Bazar. The market is useful for one evening. It is a poor place to sleep if your cab leaves at 7 am for Cherrapunji.
Stay two nights if you want a city day — Don Bosco, a cafe, Umiam — then move to Sohra. Stay one night if the hills are the trip. We will say which, based on how many days you actually have.
The same desk books the airport cab and the room. That is the point of Leafyinn: not a listing site that leaves you to stitch WhatsApp threads.
Common questions
Where should I stay in Shillong for a first visit?
A homestay 10–20 minutes from the centre, not on the loudest market street. We match the room to your cab timing.
Is Shillong cold?
Evenings are cool most of the year. December and January need a proper blanket and, in older houses, a heater. We mention this when we confirm the stay.
Can I book only the stay without a package?
Yes. Homestay-only inquiries are normal. Add a cab later if you want.
