How To Reach Police Bazar

Shillong, Meghalaya, India
Introduction to Police Bazar: Police Bazar is the absolute commercial, cultural, and geographical epicenter of Shillong, often referred to by the local Khasi name, Khyndailad. Unlike a traditional single market, it is a bustling, expansive area encompassing a large circle, radiating roads, modern sh opping malls, traditional handicraft shops, high-end hotels, and countless food stalls. Its name originates from the colonial era due to its proximity to the main police headquarters, but today it is known for its incredible energy and as the melting pot of Shillong. It's the central point for all transport, accommodation, and commerce, making it virtually impossible to miss for any visitor. The bazar seamlessly blends the traditional and the modern; one can find chic boutiques alongside vendors selling authentic local Khasi artifacts, bamboo crafts, and hand-woven shawls. It functions as a round-the-clock hub, dynamic during the day with shopping crowds and vibrant at night with illuminated restaurants and cafes. It is where all the major public bus stands and shared taxi stands are located, establishing its role as the nerve center for travel within Shillong and to other parts of Meghalaya. Its diverse range of dining options, from authentic regional cuisine like Jadoh and momos to international fast-food chains, solidifies its position as the ultimate urban destination in the hill station. The atmosphere is always lively, offering a true, unfiltered glimpse into the modern life of the Khasi people and the various communities that call Shillong home.:

How to Reach

By Air: The nearest major airport is Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (GAU) in Guwahati (120 KMS). Travelers take a pre-booked airport taxi, shared cab (often Tata Sumo), or the direct bus service (MTC/ASTC) which all drop off directly at the main bus stand located centrally in Police Bazar itself. The smaller Shillong Airport (UMROI) (30 KMS) is also an option, with local taxis available to take you directly to the center.

By Train: The closest major railhead is Guwahati Railway Station (GHY) (104 KMS). The process is similar to '

By Air'—shared or private taxis and buses are constantly running from the station to the Police Bazar drop-off point, which is the final destination for most transport arriving in Shillong.

By Road: Police Bazar is the major transport hub. It is the terminus for all public and private buses (MTC/ASTC) and shared taxi services (Tata Sumo/Maruti Swift) connecting Shillong to Guwahati (NH 6) and other towns like Jowai and Cherrapunjee. Driving in can be congested, but the area is centrally marked and easy to find via GPS.

By Local Transport: Within the city, Police Bazar is the point of origin for all local city taxis. It is easily reachable from any other part of Shillong by a short, affordable taxi ride. Many central hotels are within walking distance, making local transport often unnecessary once you are checked into a nearby accommodation. :
