Rate my solo trip idea please

I wanted to base myself out of Shillong as a remote worker from October 20-november 8. The idea is to work 9-6 from a homestay with a nice view, spend the weekends exploring Meghalaya, experiencing the culture and doing day trips. From there, I will travel to Nagaland and explore there from Nov 8-15 before returning home. (During this Nagaland leg I will have Diwali holidays so no need to work)

I just wanted someone to sanity check me on whether this is a good idea. I've done many of these "workation" trips in other countries but interestingly, this will be my first time doing it in my own India. I'm 26F for context and i chose NE because of safety. And I'm looking at Shillong as a base because I saw that a lot of major tourist places are close enough that they can be reached as a weekend trip while I'm remote working.

I wanted to find out if anyone has done something similar, and what are some recommendations for places i can stay. Also i would like to know what the cafe and co-working scene is like over there.

Thanks a lot for reading
