Knowledge of the geographical setting of Meghalaya enables the travellers to move without difficulties across the attractions. An average tourist destination is one that will start at the state capital (Shillong) which acts as a central place of accommodation and connectivity. Travellers are also likely to visit Cherrapunji there, see waterfalls, caves, and root bridges and then visit Mawlynnong village which is the cleanest and most culturally interesting. Another tourist attraction that has been incorporated in most tours is Dawki with its crystal clear river waters.

The inter-city transport is primarily based on the road transport whereby taxis and common vehicles connect the key destinations. The time spent on traveling is also very controllable and it is possible to visit several places within a span of a few days. Pre-planning routes helps in coming up with realistic plans and prevents unnecessary delays. Knowledge of the distances in the region, availability of transport and available road networks increase the overall efficiency and comfort in travelling throughout the journey.
