By Air
Umroi Airport in Shillong is the closest airport to Cherrapunji. However, Shillong is only connected to Kolkata by air. The best way to reach Cherrapunji by air is to take a flight to Guwahati Airport, which is well connected to all major cities in India such as Delhi, Kolkata, and Mumbai. Well-known airlines such as IndiGo, Jet Airways, Air Asia, and Air India, also connect Guwahati Airport to other cities in the Northeastern states.
