    If you’re heading north from Shillong to Umiam, the NH6 is the quickest, but a quick detour to the Shillong War Memorial right off the highway gives a solid WWII snapshot. After the lake, a short drive to Dholai Village shows traditional Khasi houses and a few colonial structures that you won’t see elsewhere. If you need a base in Shillong, Living Roof is just a mile from the highway.
