The nearest airport is Shillong airport in Meghalaya falls under the Ri-Bhoi district and is close to the Umiam Lake. However, there is only one flight from the airport to Kolkata. We would suggest that the better option for tourists is to board a flight to Guwahati and then take the NH to Nongpoh.

The nearest railway station to Ri-Bhoi is Guwahati railway station (only 50 KM away). From here, you can hire taxi or take bus to reach this place.

NH-40 serves as a lifeline to the district. Though, the NH doesn't run across all of the districts, it runs vertically, connecting Shillong to Guwahati. The highway is remains busy with frequent buses, tourist & private vehicles. So, choose any of the option and enjoy comfortable Ri Bhoi tour.
