08:00 AM

Start early — by 8-8:30am ideally — since cloud cover tends to build up through the morning and can blank out the view entirely by midday. It's a 25-35 minute drive from Police Bazar. There's an Indian Air Force base on the hill, so expect a security check at the gate.

Small and manicured rather than dramatic — a paved path around the water, a wooden bridge across the middle, and pedal boats for hire. It's more of a morning stroll than a destination in itself, but it's central and an easy, calm way to start before the longer drives later in the day.
A horseshoe-shaped man-made lake in the middle of Shillong, with a wooden footbridge and boating — the easy, low-key place to start a day in the city. #WardsLake #Shillong #MeghalayaActivities

Reached by a paved staircase down through the forest, with viewing points at each of the three tiers. It's one of the more accessible waterfalls in the area — no serious trekking involved — which also means it draws a steady stream of visitors, so it's rarely quiet.
A three-tiered waterfall a short drive from central Shillong, known locally as Kshaid Lai Pateng — "the falls of the three steps." #ElephantFalls #MeghalayaActivities

Dense, busy, and a genuine cross-section of the city rather than a tourist-built market — handwoven shawls, bamboo work, and tribal jewellery alongside ordinary shops locals actually use. Good place for dinner too, with plenty of street stalls once it gets dark.
Shillong's main commercial hub — Khasi handicraft shops, woollens, and street food stalls, and the natural place to end a day in the city. #PoliceBazar #ShillongActivities
