Williamson Sangma State Museum (Meghalaya State Museum)★★★★ Rafi Meander's pick
Two galleries full of Khasi, Jaintia and Garo material culture — handwoven baskets, Muga silk, traditional weapons and musical instruments. Entry is ₹5 and you could spend an hour here easily. Closed Sundays.

Chapala Book Stall
Shop
Sep 15
Chapala Book Stall★★★★ Rafi Meander's pick
One of the oldest bookshops in the Northeast, open since 1936. A shelf of Assamese and Bengali books under a tin awning — the kind of place that feels like it has survived because people still care about the thing it sells.
Keating Road, Opposite MTC Building, Police Bazar, Shillong, Meghalaya 793001 -

Dylan's Cafe
Cafe
Sep 15
Dylan's Cafe★★★★ Rafi Meander's pick
Acoustic sets and open-mic nights in the Laitumkhrah neighbourhood. The kind of cafe where you sit with chai and let the music find you — Shillong's famous live-music tradition in its smaller, quieter form.
Tripura Castle Road, Laitumkhrah, Shillong, Meghalaya
