SHILLONG ALOO MURI

This is without a doubt one of the most beloved and popular of the street foods here. The Shillong-style momos are a must-have that you will not find elsewhere!

Every Indian knows what these delightful small-sized juicy snacks are. But make no mistake, the pani puris made here will leave you wanting some more!

SHILLONG SMOKED MEAT

You don't have to be near one of these stands to know they're around. The delicious aroma of this freshly smoked meat is enough to make your mouth water.

PHAN TUNGTAP

Boiled red potatoes with a mix of fermented dry fish, fried smoke meat and with assorted wild edible greens. Simple yet tangy!

Local Snacks

Pukhlein is prepared from fermented rice. As it is one of the few desserts in Shillong, nearly every khasi restaurant in the city will serve it.

Rice is first modelled in an earthen dish called sarrow and then baked. It is a local favourite and is most often had with tea and chutneys.

Made with soya beans that have been fermented and after adding the local herbs, they are sauteed together to bring out the delicious flavour of the dish.

Local Fruits and Berries

Other fruits and berries include SOH NIAMTRA / MANDARINS, SOH TRUN/ PINEAPPLE, SOH PLUM/ PLUM and many more!

Sohshang is light pink-coloured beautiful fruit otherwise called wild olive which grows on a large woody, evergreen shrub that can be found in almost every local’s house in Meghalaya.

Meghalaya’s Cherry or Blackberry, locally known as Sohiong resembles black grapes. When you take a bite of the ripe sohiong, you will feel the mild tangy taste as it colours your tongue purple. It is used to make jam and even fruit juice.

SOH PYRSHONG

The complete local khasi meal.

We finally head on over to one of the most famous Khasi eateries serving the tastiest of the local cuisines

WHITE RICE / JA DOH/ MEAT RICE

The staple food of the Khasis. Jadoh is a famous street food based in the Khasi community and is loved for its rich flavour. It is mainly made with red rice cooked with pork or chicken.

LUNGSIEJ / BAMBOO SHOOT

All-time favourites for a lot of people. It is the after product of bamboo-shoot-turned pickle by adding salt, chillies and spices.

This is a non-vegetarian salad consisting of boiled meat (chicken/ pork/beef/fish) cut into small pieces and mixed with chopped onions, chilly and any other ingredient that you would like. It is one of the easiest dishes to prepare and serve.

GRAVY STYLE MEAT

Lip Smacking Chicken/ Pork/ Fish cooked in traditional gravy style.

Made with soya beans that have been fermented and after adding the ingredients, they are sauteed together to bring out the delicious flavour of the dish.

SHILLONG CHOW WITH GRAVY AND MOMOS

These hunger-satisfying dishes can also be opted as the final meal!

These are poured over the rice to enhance the flavour and leave you wanting more!

Optional & Seasonal

Give these scrumptious snacks a try on your next visit!

Looking for something different to add to the mix as you seek a healthier lifestyle? While nothing can still beat an apple a day to keep the doctor away, in Shillong, some people eat silkworms since time immemorial. Its protein is said to have many health benefits and it's surprisingly delicious as well! Of course, this is entirely optional and is not available throughout the year. So let's give it a try!

Refreshments/Drinks

Perfection can be hard to obtain, but we can drink it in the form of exotic white tea! This tea of Chinese origin is among the rarest in the world and is very much expensive but very very worth it!

SMOKEY FALLS TRIBE COFFEE

Coffee is available in many forms, robusta, arobica, and roast. They are prepared according to how strong you need them. So if you think you know it all, then come on over and have a sip and more!

SHAW SAW/ RED TEA

If you want to feel like a local and warm yourself on the rainy and foggy days, shaw saw or red tea is the way to go!

Local Fruit Wine

The art of winemaking for local brewers still remains just a ‘hobby’ in the state. Among the famous fruit wines are apricot, ginger, mulberry fruit, strawberry, passion fruit, blackberry, plum, banana, jackfruit, roselle, sohiong wine, sohbrap(passion fruit) wine, sohlang wine, plum wine, pineapple wine, pear wine and a variety of enticing combinations such as sohmon with sohiong wine.

Shillong: A food tour

The food habit in Shillong is a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. People mostly prefer plants and vegetables as an add-on to the dishes. The cooking style here is mostly outdoor follows slow cooking and grilling methods. People use fewer spices and give a chance to the natural flavor of the meat to flourish.

Let’s have a look at some of the traditional dishes of the region.

Jadoh is the signature dish of Shillong and entire Meghalaya. It is a minced pork meat dish, cooked with rice and turmeric. Natives serve this dish with smoked tomatoes and hot red chilies.

The best part of this dish is that people traditionally use raw turmeric (grind them into mortar and pestle) instead of the dried and powdered one. One can feel the nascent taste of turmeric in the dish.

Here is a recipe for this dish.

It sounds much like a Chinese dish, which it is, is also the most popular street food in the city. You can find people cooking Chowmein in a wok. The Shillong version of Chowmein is hot and spicy and served with pork. People generally use egg noodles to prepare this dish.

It is a pork dish and truly a must-have delicacy in Shillong. In this dish, pork is cooked in soy sauce with a generous amount of black sesame seeds. The final serving incorporates garnishing with toasted sesame seeds, which imparts a crunchy feel to the dish.

It is one of the popular dishes of Shillong. It is also street food and you can find queues in the stalls selling this dish. Tungrymbai is prepared from fermented soybeans and people serve them with a slice of bread or chapati.

This dish is among the few completely vegetarian dishes of Shillong.

Do O Pura is a chicken dish prepared with green mustard leaves and rice flour. Because of the mustard leaves, the dish looks light green in color and imparts the flavor of chicken and mustard.

In Shillong, you will find outlets for selling farm-fresh strawberries, raspberries, pineapple, etc. Do not forget to bring home these treats, as they have a different level of freshness and distinguishable taste from those we buy from supermarkets. People also chew betel leaves most of the time, you can try their version of betels. You can also book a taxi in Shillong on day rental and enjoy sightseeing and food trail.

The museum and the mini zoo inside the park premises makes for a good learning experience. Spread Eagle Falls: ​​ The Spread Eagle Falls are considered to be the widest waterfall in Shillong. The scintillating waterfall is also known as Sati Falls or Urkaliar because of the belief that Ka Liar slipped into it. The majestic waterfall gushes down steep hills, towering three sides into a massive pool of water which is ideal for the tourists to sit and lounge by.

Elephant Falls: Named after an Elephant like stone at its foot, the Elephant Falls are amongst the most popular falls in the North-East, situated next to Shillong. It is a tourists' paradise with three layers of the falls accessible from different vantage points. The first of the three waterfalls is tucked between the dense trees and is very broad. The second waterfall reduces to thin strands of water and is almost negligible in winters due to the receding water levels. The third and the most visible waterfall is the tallest with clear water flowing like a sheet of milk on the dark rocks in the backdrop. Out of the three, the third waterfall tends to strike the visitors as the most impressive.  Mawlynnong: Mawlynnong is a small village situated around 90 km from Shillong in the East Khasi Hills. It is widely popular as the cleanest village in Asia. Mawlynnong offers some of the most picturesque natural beauty with lush green valleys, crystal clear water in the river, an abundance of flowering orchids hanging from the trees and extremely clean roads.

Mawsynram: Acknowledged as the wettest place in the world, the mesmerizing village of Mawsynram, located 61 kms south of Shillong is a nature lover's delight and the perfect destination for a weekend trip.

Why to Buy Shillong Tour Package?

  Local Expertise: Tour operators specializing in Shillong possess an in-depth understanding of the region. They are familiar with the local culture, climate, terrain, and challenges. This expertise allows them to plan itineraries that consider factors like unpredictable weather, hilly terrain, and road conditions. They know the best routes, timings, and hidden gems that may be challenging for independent travelers to discover. Altitude Acclimatization: Shillong's higher altitude can lead to altitude sickness for some travelers. Tour packages are designed to help you acclimatize gradually. They plan your itinerary in a way that you ascend gradually, allowing your body to adjust to the change in altitude safely. This reduces the risk of altitude-related health issues and ensures a more comfortable journey. Transportation: Shillong's public transportation options are limited, and the region's roads can be rough. Tour packages often include private vehicles and experienced drivers who are well-versed in navigating the challenging terrain. Having reliable transportation ensures a comfortable and safe journey, especially on winding mountain roads. Customized Itinerary: Tour operators can customize your itinerary based on your preferences and interests. They consider the challenges and opportunities Shillong presents, allowing you to explore the region while staying safe and comfortable. Whether you're interested in cultural experiences, adventure activities, or scenic beauty, they can tailor your trip to match your desires.
