The road distance from Kolkata to Shillong is 662 km via Dhaka-Sylhet Highway — a long day that needs an early start.
Our data shows no toll plazas on the fastest route, so the cost of the drive is essentially fuel. On a drive this long that is unusual: if you switch to a national highway or a new expressway you may meet plazas that aren't in the NHAI dataset yet, so keep a small buffer.
Shillong is a hill destination: the last stretch climbs ghat roads, where mileage drops by roughly 15–25% and speeds fall sharply. Our fuel figures use flat-road mileage, so add a buffer.

Plan on about 11 h 15 min including short breaks. Free-flowing traffic can do it in 8 h 6 min, but towns, trucks and plaza queues usually add time.
No toll plazas sit on the fastest route, so commercial vehicles pay no toll either.
Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Shillong to Kolkata toll is the same ~₹0 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Shillong's state price.
Fees are revised every 1 April and some plazas change mid-year, so treat results as a close estimate. Spotted a wrong fee or a missing plaza? Tell us — we fix reported errors within 72 hours and log them on our corrections page.
