About this venue

Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Shillong is a recognizable sports venue and a key meeting point for major outdoor events. Designed as a multi-purpose stadium, it offers spacious stands and clear sightlines toward the field, so the crowd’s energy carries through every section.

Inside, it delivers that “true stadium” feel: wide concourses make it easy to circulate around the seating areas, while the layout keeps attention locked on the action. On event days, practical amenities—entry points, checkpoints, and refreshment zones—help you settle in quickly and enjoy the atmosphere from the start.

Its micro-location is easy to navigate: HVJV+2JW, Polo-Lawmali, Golf Links, Shillong, India. Reaching the entrance is typically done via nearby drop-off areas and parking spaces around the complex, so it’s best to aim for the approach along Golf Links and follow signage to the main gates.

About the city: Shillong

Shillong, a green hill city in Meghalaya, combines the relaxed feel of a mountain town with the energy of live shows and sporting gatherings. With a compact centre and a scene that keeps evolving, visitors can easily find a spot for a concert, a match, or an evening out, and the welcoming vibe lingers long after the trip ends.

Getting in is straightforward: Shillong Airport (Umroi Airport) is the closest air gateway, while for a wider choice of flights many travellers use Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (Guwahati). If you arrive by train, the main starting point is Guwahati Railway Station (GHY), and then the journey continues by road. Within the region, you can rely on state-run bus links, including Meghalaya Transport Corporation (MTC), departures from the Inter State Bus Terminus (ISBT) Mawlai-Mawiong, and practical shared taxi routes that get you quickly to arenas and stadiums.

When you’re not at an event, the city rewards you with a stroll through the lively Police Bazaar and a calm loop around Ward’s Lake, perfect for a breather before heading into the venue. For panoramic views, climb up to Shillong Peak, and for a closer look at local heritage drop by the Don Bosco Centre for Indigenous Cultures. If you want a short escape beyond the centre, the landscapes around Umiam Lake (Barapani) and waterfalls such as Elephant Falls round off the experience of this fresh, scenic city.
