Our Story

A Home in the
Scotland of the East

Perched at 1,496 metres above sea level, Megha Niwas is a century-old colonial bungalow lovingly restored into a warm family homestay. Surrounded by pine forests, rolling hills, and the eternal mist of Meghalaya — we offer not just a room, but a feeling.

Wake up to birdsong, sip Assam tea on the veranda, and let the mountains slow you down.

★★★★★

Waking up to the mist rolling over the pine hills from my suite — it felt like sleeping inside a dream. The hosts made us feel like long-lost family. We'll be back every monsoon.

★★★★★

The Khasi food alone is worth the trip. The Jadoh was extraordinary. But truly, it's the warmth of the family, the fireplace, and those mountain sunsets that made it unforgettable.

As someone who has stayed in luxury hotels across the world, nothing compares to the authenticity and soul of Megha Niwas. Shillong's best kept secret — I'm telling everyone.
