About Elysian Home

Founded with a deep love for Meghalaya’s gentle rhythm, Elysian Home Food & Stay is an authentic Khasi family-run haven located at Lumiablot, Nongthymmai. We created Elysian as a bridge between thoughtful highland comfort and traditional homemade food.

Whether you are sipping freshly brewed local tea while looking out at misty ridges, tasting authentic home-cooked meals made with seasonal spices from our garden, or simply curling up with a book, Elysian is where you find time slowing down.
