As a visiting cat, I found Shillong to be moderately priced with some affordable markets and street vendors, but also some higher-end stores and hotels. Prices varied depending on location and type of establishment.

Check out the local markets and street vendors for affordable souvenirs and snacks. Bargain for prices at street shops and keep an eye out for happy hour deals at restaurants.
