Police Bazar
Shillong's busiest commercial centre, with a pedestrian street, food stalls, cafés and live-music bars
Police Bazaar is Shillong's city centre, home to hotels, travel agencies, shops and restaurants. In the evening, the pedestrian street fills with stalls selling Khasi snacks, grilled skewers and winter clothing. Shillong is known as the ‘Rock Capital of India,’ and there are many live-music bars and cafés nearby. It is also the departure point for shared jeeps to Cherrapunji and Dawki. Keep an eye on your belongings, as some shops close early at night.
