TRADITIONAL Mizo GUEST HOUSE Tour near Police Bazaar | Shillong, Meghalaya, India
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- After spending six unforgettable weeks in 2018 exploring some of the largest cities in India, I wanted a change of pace for my next trip to the country. I set off for the small towns, valleys, mountains, and national parks of northeast India in March of 2019. What I found in the states of Assam and Meghalaya blew my mind and redefined what I thought India could be. It’s such a beautiful place and I’m so glad I get to share it with you guys!

When I arrived in Shillong, I checked into my Mizo guest house at the Soram Villa Homestay, a three-story building just 10 minutes away from Police Bazaar. The homestay has five rooms and a cottage, as well as a rooftop hut where you can eat meals. It’s located right across from St. Anthony’s College. Let’s go explore the property!
Outside the hut on the roof, you can get a nice view of St. Anthony’s College. There are lots of potted plants on the landing as you head downstairs from the roof. I headed down to level 2, where my unit was. There’s a beautiful terrace on the level where you can relax or work. The homestay has WiFi, which is super important to me when I travel! I love this place. The owner is super nice!
Inside, my unit is basically a studio apartment. There’s a closet with towels and space to hang up your clothes right inside the door. There’s a clothing rack just inside the door, as well as a folding table.
My bedroom had two twin beds in it. I slept with an extra blanket because the nights get really chilly in Shillong! There’s also a nice TV and a station where I charge all of my equipment.
The bathroom is really nice and super clean. It has marble walls. Like most places in India, the bathroom has a water heater, which you must turn on if you want to take a hot shower. You can bathe yourself with the buckets provided or use the overhead shower head. There’s also a toilet and a nice sink with shelving underneath.
On the wall outside the bathroom are photos from around Meghalaya. And that’s my unit!
When you leave your unit here, always remember to lock up, so reapply the padlock and the door locks. Always be safe!
Downstairs from my unit is a carport. Along the terrace are lots of plants. They really made this place feel cozy and homey. This homestay is basically one large house that they converted into a guesthouse.
Downstairs, you can also see the Assam-type cottage. It’s very old and has a kitchen and multiple rooms in it. On my way there, I met up with the owner, Josephine, who invited me inside.
Inside the cottage is a very nice living room with 12-foot-high ceilings and a super chill seating area and TV. There’s a nice, spacious bedroom two large beds, shelves with extra blankets, a heater, and a little table.
The bathroom consists of two rooms - a smaller area with a mirror and a very nice, tile bathroom with a shower, water heater, toilet, and sink.
The kitchen is huge! There’s a massive dining table, lots of counter space, a microwave, a stovetop, a refrigerator, and space for cups, pans, and utensils.
There’s also a master bedroom, which has a king-sized bed and high ceilings. There’s a smaller bed as well. Off the master bedroom is a double bathroom with racks for towels, a mirror, and another bathroom with a toilet, shower, sink, and water heater.
This place is incredible. If you ever come to Meghalaya, I highly recommend staying here during your time in Shillong. You should probably stay 4-7 nights in order to see Meghalaya properly. The people are wonderful and friendly and have features that are more southeast Asian than Indian. The roads wind throughout the mountains, so it takes time to get around.
While you’re in Shillong, visit Police Bazaar for breakfast and dinner and Iewduh Market to browse and shop. You’ll also want to take a trip down to Sohra to see the waterfalls and living root bridges around Cherrapunjee. They’re gorgeous!
I hope you had fun coming along with me on my Soram Villa Homestay tour! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up and leave me a comment. Also subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food adventures!

This meghalaya series is killing it..
Wowwww...that house is sooo beautiful... I am in love with that house😍😍😍😍
Every old house in Assam is like that
@@chawrakaxom559 I m talking about the interiors & maintentance
Hey David! We love the way you emphasize on minute details, you might think you are helping guide overseas visitors/tourists but believe me you are even guiding Indians like me who stay very much in India but have or had no idea about stuff you have helped us to learn through your amazing videos. For example the way you explained the ways to take shower I am sure has helped a lot of overseas tourists who wonder why would Indians keep buckets inside the shower hehe
We have gained so much knowledge about the places you visit. Be safe and keep travelling man!! Good luck and may God bless you David.... #Davidsbeenhere
Hi, David thank you for your amazing videos .
I think David has fallen in love with Shillong just like the band FIREHOUE!
Haha jealous ajay Caz he is from a slum area 😂😂😂
Thank you David, beautiful place to stay!
Ok, so that color of blue on that bed is the most beautiful blue color I’ve ever seen! David, please ask what color of blue that is. Although it’s possible your not there now. :( Thanks for all you do!
It is hand made by the people of Mizoram
Its blue da ba dee da da da da dum dee daa da da..
amit kumar amm I think that’s right!! I need to find this, want to decorate a room with this color of blue being main focus.TY
@@maryreynolds5310 you also should come and visit Shillong✌🏻
Meshal Khyriem I would love to, but a trip like that is very expensive I’m sure. Mary one day, Thank you!

Wow. Amazing guest house. Lov u david. Ur the best house.
This clip probably gonna be helpful to other tourists
Thnkqq sir for visiting Meghalaya hope for the next video ...Khublei
Hey Dave. You ought to visit mawnnylong village which is supposed and tagged as the cleanest village in Asia. I have visited the village a year back and was taken away by the local communities neat and tidy ethics. Sometimes I myself being from an advanced nation started to ponder and interestingly understood that there are things you can learn a good value out there hidden in the far depths that are in other ways much advanced than our values and ethics. My trip there thought me a sense of community bondness. Hope it sounds good to you and maybe you will have a second thoughts about visiting the cleanest village in asia. Don't miss it if possible.
He did visit Mawlynnong. Its on the other video. 😊
Your this content is amazing David 😍 watching your videos made me miss y home and most importantly hometown pork 😢
Khublei Shibun David😊
Thats where i Graduate David. St Anthony's College. The No 1 in Meghalaya.
One thing about Khasi people they are very clean. For instance look at their dishes eventhough their house looks small.
Thanks.
Traditional Khasi followed British style of house making....every room has privacy even kitchen....thats y it look small...unlike other part of Northeast..
Your so right.
thanks
@@amygracelyngdoh1392 uh even the Assamese adopted British way of making houses. This style of making houses has even a name called "Assam type". It was invented by the British, on the style of old Assamese houses and build in such a style that there is minimum damage to the occupants of the house in case of a natural calamity like storms or earthquake
Edit: Shown in the video
@@chawrakaxom559 sorry bro ..i guess u r wrong...Assam type house originated from China Yunnan Province...n there r still so many Assam type house in Yunnan villages..
thenature balances if khasi are clean they are flooded with biharis to make space for dirtiness
If you already reach this far, its a must to visit mizoram 😊 i am mizo from mizoram
Loved your guest home, very welcoming,whilst staying in shilog. The people in shilog are so relaxed and friendly. Must say the cleanest place in India 🙂👍🏻 thanks David and Paul for showing a beautiful place in India 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@Kyrtengshisha ym ngeit te dep Hi.well l can only comment on what l've seen on Paul and David's Vlogs of shilog 👍🏻

David you should come to Mizoram
There is really nothing to see there
@ajay you completely missed my point im talking about tourism sites plus the red mouths you see thats the unique thing about our culture i wasn't criticising Mizoram just stating the fact there is not much to do there as compared to Shillong
@@anonymousbroccolli6197 lol ,as if you know every nook and crannies of Mizoram , every state is different so don't throw shade to other states, you un-cultured swine. 😊
Mzoram poh hre tu an tam ta viau a. A nuam khop mai❤❤

Angry toast what wrong with that? how many outsider advertise to visit their state during karl rock aizawl tour video
@Ajay yr on every corner of comment section ..do something productive.. go get a.life fool
Angry toast it shows how freaking racist you are it seems like you have so much of hatred for Mizo's and i wish to point that out. Okay i even saw your name popping on other comments too so you must "get a life" you Nerd
@@lalramdintharichhangte7650 no bro I ain't hating any mizos they r kind.. im being offensive on guy named ajay for talking shit bout shillong
