We have also visited Shilong recently.It is really a nice place.I do not know about nearest airport from this place but there is Helicopter service from Shilong to Guwahati airport & vice versa.We also enjoiyed it.We stayed at Hotel Centre Point.It is good hotel.
One should not be lured by the ads given in News papers and TVs regarding travelling abroad by the branded tour operators showing their testimony of receipt of International tourism awards for consecutive years. One has to verify carefully. They have hidden costs which they reveal one after other before your departure. By this time you have deposited advance money of Rs 10,000=00 to Rs 20,000=00 which is non refundable. In case you donot take up tour the advance are forfieted. They have number of terms and conditions written in very small letters in their booklet which normally escape your notice and you believe only on what they say.The terms and conditions are usually applied to the operator's advantages.Always ask for a written cost and clarifications of the tour signed by the operator.Finalise everyting before depositing the advances. I have bitter experience with a superbrand tour operator

Instead of writing in general pl. share your experiences good or bad. Too much generality in any advice howsoever benign smacks of Doubting Toms theory.pl. keep in mind tour operators are neither angels or messiahs.They too work on basic economic theory.frivolous advice is best avoided.Thanks
