Shillong in June
Meghalaya, India
Skip — Cherrapunji-Shillong road closes for landslides 4–8 days/month Jun–Aug; Police Bazaar floods, Elephant Falls is unreachable in heavy rain. Better window: October–April, peak Oct–Nov for autumn clarity.
June marks monsoon onset — Shillong receives 300mm+ this month alone. Roads to Cherrapunji and Dawki become risky.
The June story
Monsoon Shillong is atmospheric but impractical. Ward's Lake and city sights work on less rainy days, but rural excursions risk road closures. Not recommended.
