East Garo Hills being a land-locked, hilly terrain with sparse population, means of communication has not developed much. There are no railway heads and airports within the district and the rivers here are also not navigable. The road network too is quite under-developed with a road-length density of only 19.86 km per 100 sq. kms. However, the district headquarter is connected to the neighbouring district headquarters of Tura, Baghmara and Nongstoin and the the state capital, Shillong. The road network also connects it with Guwahati and Goalpara in Assam.
