If you’re heading from Shillong to Umiam, a quick pause at the Shillong War Memorial on NH6 gives a concise WWII story. Then, on the way to the lake, you can stop by the old colonial watchtower at Shillong Peak for a 19th century military view. After the lake, a short drive to Dholai Village shows traditional Khasi houses. If you need a place to stay in Shillong, Living Roof is a convenient option.

If you’re only looking for a short detour, the 30 kilometre drive to Kinnerasani Wildlife Sanctuary is worth it. The park’s main trail is about an hour long and you can spot deer, peacocks and the occasional crocodile along the riverbank. After the walk, a quick stop at the nearby village market gives you a taste of local snacks and a chance to pick up handmade bangles or woven baskets.

You could also catch the early 5:30 a.m. state bus from Agartala, which drops you near the Jampui entrance a little earlier than the 6 a.m. option. On the return leg, a quick stop at the nearby Baghmara Tea Estate gives a quieter tea garden walk before heading back. After the hike, staying at Lake Side Resort Neermahal offers a relaxed evening close to the hills.
