Discover Meghalaya’s Wonders: Adventure, Tranquility, and Natural Beauty Combined

Day 1: The Ride to Scotland of the East

Touchdown in Guwahati!

You grab a chai, meet your driver, and hit the road to Shillong. But first— Umiam Lake, aka the "mini Scotland" of India, welcomes you with misty hills and blue waters. Maybe a quick boat ride?

After soaking in the views, you roll into Shillong, check into your cozy stay, and step out to explore. Feeling touristy ?

Day 2: The Mystical Forest & River Canoeing

After a hearty breakfast, it’s time for some magic.

You head to the Sacred Forest, where ancient spirits guard the trees, and not even a fallen leaf can be taken away. Spooky? Nah—just pure nature in its rawest form.

Next up, getting ready for canoeing on a glassy river feels like a dream. The water is so clear, you might spot fish gossiping below. After this wild adventure, you drive back to Shillong, tired but grinning.

Day 3: The Road Trip to Dawki via Krang Suri Falls

Buckle up—today’s a scenic ride.

First stop: Krang Suri Falls, where turquoise waters call for a dip, and the mist makes you feel like you’re in a fantasy novel. We have a surprise for you. Don’t google or you miss the fun !!

Then, it’s off to Dawki, home of the famed Umngot River, where boats look like they’re floating on air. You glide across the crystal-clear waters, half-expecting to find mermaids. As the sun sets, you settle into a riverside camp, with bonfires, barbecue, and the soft murmur of the river lulling you to sleep. Yes. Alcohol is needed this day 😉

Sounds like a plan? 😳

Day 4: CLEANESt village and sohra views

After breakfast, you bid farewell to Dawki after some warm - ups and drive to Mawlynnong, Asia’s cleanest village (seriously, even the streets look freshly scrubbed).

The bamboo skywalk here offers views all the way into Bangladesh. Then, it’s time for Cherrapunji, where nature is on steroids.

By evening, you’re cozied up in Cherrapunji, listening to the rain tap against your window.

Day 5: The Trek to Nongriat – The Double-Decker Living Root Bridge

Time to ditch the wheels and use your legs! You lace up your hiking shoes and descend 3,500 steps into the lush jungles of Nongriat.

It’s a journey through time—crossing ancient root bridges, passing tiny villages, and listening to birds that sound straight out of a nature documentary. The Double-Decker Living Root Bridge is the star of the show, and if you’re up for more, a short trek takes you to Blue Lagoon, where the water is as blue as your last unread WhatsApp messages.

You stay overnight in Sohra, surrounded by nothing but nature’s finest playlist. Maybe we can plan something. Who know ? haha

Day 6: MEGHALAYA WITHOUT WATERFALLS ?

Waking up in Nongriat is like waking up inside a dream. No alarms, just the distant roar of waterfalls. You sip some locally brewed tea, chat with fellow travelers, and take a slow, immersive walk to Prut, a place so serene it feels like it belongs in another dimension.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can explore hidden pools and waterfalls that most tourists miss. The day is all about soaking in the untouched beauty of Waterfalls. What about idli , dosa and sambhar ? We got your lunch covered.

A very much chill day it is after all the activities.

You explore one of Meghalaya’s mind-blowing cave—where eerie tunnels, sparkling stalactites, and ancient secrets await.

Finally, you drive back to Shillong for a well-deserved evening of relaxation—maybe a coffee at Dylan’s Café, reminiscing about the epic trip.

Day 7: cavinggggg !!!!
