Beltola is a residential neighbourhood in south-east Guwahati, known for its traditional weekly bazaar, which has been held for generations and draws farmers and traders from the surrounding hills. Around the bazaar, the area has grown into a busy residential zone with schools, cafés, shops and apartment complexes, popular with families and young professionals. For Myra members, Beltola offers a friendly, local setting for a first date, with a good mix of cafés and green spaces. Introductions here often include people from Survey, Basistha, Hatigaon, Ganeshguri and Six Mile, depending on your distance limit. A visit to the weekly bazaar, where you can find fresh produce, local crafts and snacks from across the region, makes a lively and interesting outing. On other days, a coffee in a neighbourhood café followed by a short walk is a relaxed first date. The hills to the south of Beltola offer lovely views, though they are better saved for later outings with someone you already know. Assam tea is part of daily life here, and sharing a cup with some pitha, a traditional rice snack, is a simple and very local way to begin a conversation with someone new. The bazaar has been held for generations, and on market days people from the Karbi, Khasi and other communities of the nearby hills bring bamboo shoots, ginger, oranges and handwoven goods to sell. Roasted corn and steaming khar dishes are seasonal treats sold by the women vendors here, and many families have bought from the same sellers for decades.
