Why it isn't one fare

Some sites quote a one-way fare for a single drop. We price the day, because most visitors keep the same car and driver for the whole trip: Shillong, then Cherrapunji, then Dawki. One-way drops are available. Ask us for the price.

Sedan or 7-seater

A sedan suits a small group with bags. A 7-seater suits a larger group or more luggage. The Meghalaya cab and private car tour has sample plans for each length of trip, and the Shillong cab page covers the day trip.
