Meghalaya's local Khasi cuisine is predominantly non-vegetarian — pork, beef, and smoked meats are staples. However, Shillong has a strong vegetarian restaurant scene, particularly in Police Bazaar and Laitumkhrah areas. Most dhabas serve dal, rice, and sabzi. In Cherrapunji and Dawki, vegetarian options become very limited — pack ready-to-eat meals or snacks if you're strictly veg. Non-veg travelers are spoiled for choice throughout the state. Halal options are available at Muslim dhabas in Shillong (Laban area).

For any medical condition or medication, please consult a qualified doctor before your trip. All tips are strictly at your own discretion and preference.
The front seat has less angular movement and gives you a view of the road ahead. This single change helps many travelers. Ask your driver — they will always accommodate.
Fresh mountain air helps significantly. Even a 2cm gap makes a difference. Avoid full-blast AC in the back seat — the temperature contrast with outside air can worsen discomfort.
Some travelers find crystallized ginger or ginger tea soothing before and during the drive. Peppermint candies may also help. These are traditional home remedies — individual results vary. Avoid heavy, oily, or spicy meals before a long hill drive.
The conflict between your inner ear's motion signals and your eyes staring at a still screen is a common trigger. Look at the road ahead or distant hills. Put your phone away on winding sections.
Tell your driver immediately if you feel nauseous — no need to push through. All our drivers carry bags just in case. A 10-minute fresh-air stop is far better than 2 hours of discomfort.
Wristbands that apply pressure to the P6 point are a non-medication option some travelers prefer. These are available in pharmacies. Effectiveness varies by individual — not a guaranteed remedy.
When filling out your booking form, use the "Special Requests" field to let us know. We pass these notes directly to your driver the evening before your trip — no rushing, no judgment.
