Travel Tips
Book your accommodation in Shillong or nearby well in advance, especially if you prefer hotels over camping, as options can fill up quickly during the festival period.
Utilize the official shuttle services that run between Shillong and the festival venue at Wenfield, The Festive Hills. This is often the most convenient way to reach the location, which is approximately 55km from Shillong.
Pack appropriate clothing for cool evenings and potential temperature drops, as the festival takes place in late October/early November in the hills of Meghalaya.
While UPI is widely accepted, carrying some cash is advisable for smaller vendors and emergencies, especially at the festival grounds where network or ATM access might be inconsistent.
