01Riders first.
Who we are
Riders first.
Locals always.
We're based in the heart of Shillong and we grew up on these roads — the ones that fold through pine forest, drop into limestone valleys and disappear into cloud past Sohra. Cloud Trails started as three scooties parked outside a tea stall. Today we run a full fleet, and half our guides are the same friends who used to just come along for the ride.
Rent solo and go where you like, or book a guide who knows which viewpoint clears up by 9am and which shortcut avoids the worst of the traffic. Either way, the bike is clean, the tank is full, and we're a phone call away if the weather turns.

Good to know before you ride
Hill roads, real weather
Meghalaya's roads climb, drop and get slick fast when the mist rolls in. We brief every rider on route conditions, gear you up with a helmet and rain cover, and flag which roads to skip after dark. Carry a valid photo ID and driving licence — some routes near the border also need an Inner Line Permit, which we can help you sort.
The fleet
Pick your ride
Every vehicle is serviced between rentals, comes with two helmets, and a full tank so you're not hunting for a pump on your first morning out.
Add-on · Any vehicle
Ride with a guide
Take the Hunter 350 with a local rider alongside you on their own vehicle — for routes, stories, and knowing exactly where to stop.
