A gap is not a fact. It means we looked and found no source.

• No official page found stating that Indian citizens need no permit for Meghalaya; the statement comes from a hotel company's site.
• Whether the planned compulsory visitor registration has started was not confirmed; the last report found is dated 15 July 2026.
• The Transport Department notice of 13 June 2025 is known through a newspaper; the notice itself was not opened. Another outlet gives 13 May 2025 as its date.
• Whether the rental prohibition has been relaxed since June 2025 was not checked.
• Highest point on the route not sourced.
• Usual number of days not sourced.
• No source found on fuel availability or on the Shillong to Cherrapunji and Mawlynnong roads.
• No source found on whether motorcycles from Assam rental firms face restrictions at tourist spots.
• Videos not collected.
• Some stretch distances are doubtful. The open map may not know the road riders use, so the routing service went the long way round.
