Agartala, Guwahati, Shillong — the honest routes.

What to know?

The hills do what hills do — mist, rain, the occasional slow stretch. Build the arrival into the day rather than fighting it. Coffee on the terrace at 07:18 the next morning is the reward.

The first question anyone asks about a hotel in Tripura or Upper Shillong is how on earth they get there. The answer is: more easily than you think.

Which to choose for Upper Shillong

Guwahati if you want flight choice and don't mind the longer drive. Shillong airport if you'd rather spend the time in the hills than on the plain. Ask us for a car either way; the road is the first part of the stay.

Chapter Upper Shillong, Meghalaya

Two ways, and both are scenic. Fly to Guwahati — the best-connected airport in the region — and drive three hours up through tea country into the hills. Or fly direct to Shillong from Kolkata or Delhi and drive ninety minutes. The resort is twenty minutes above Shillong town.

Chapter Lakeside, Tripura

Fly to Agartala. Direct flights from Kolkata, Delhi and Guwahati. From the airport it is an hour to ninety minutes' drive to Rudrasagar Lake — and if you'd like to arrive by water, we run boat transfers, because a hotel on a lake should be reached by boat at least once.
