Embark on an immersive journey through Meghalaya, a state renowned for its pristine landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and unparalleled natural beauty. This 4-day tour offers an ideal blend of adventure, tranquility, and exploration, taking you from the bustling city of Guwahati to the serene hills of Shillong, the rain-soaked plains of Cherrapunjee, and the charming villages of Mawlynnong and Dawki.
Start your adventure in Shillong, known as the “Scotland of the East,” where you’ll be enchanted by the city’s colonial charm, vibrant markets, and serene lakes. The journey from Guwahati to Shillong includes a visit to the magnificent Umiam Lake, a stunning man-made reservoir that offers breathtaking views and the opportunity for exciting water sports.
In Shillong, delve into the city’s rich cultural tapestry with visits to the Don Bosco Museum, which showcases the diverse cultures of Northeast India, and the Cathedral of Mary Help of Christians, an architectural marvel and spiritual haven. Wander through the beautifully manicured Lady Hydari Park and enjoy a leisurely boat ride on Ward’s Lake, a serene oasis in the heart of the city.
Next, venture to Cherrapunjee, or Sohra, known for its record-breaking rainfall and spectacular landscapes. Marvel at the breathtaking views from Shillong Peak, the highest point in the region, and be mesmerized by the cascading waters of Elephant Falls. In Cherrapunjee, witness the awe-inspiring Nokhalikai Falls, the tallest plunge waterfall in India, and the magnificent Seven Sisters Falls, a series of seven segmented waterfalls that flow gracefully over the cliffs. Explore the mystical Mawsmai Cave, with its fascinating limestone formations, and uncover the hidden wonders of the lesser-known Awrah Cave.
Your journey continues to the enchanting village of Mawlynnong, acclaimed as the cleanest village in Asia. Stroll through the immaculate streets, interact with the friendly locals, and experience the village’s unique way of life. Nearby, visit the remarkable Single Decker Living Root Bridge in Riwai, a testament to the ingenuity of the Khasi people who have woven the roots of trees to form sturdy bridges over centuries.
In Dawki, marvel at the crystal-clear waters of the Umngot River, where the riverbed is visible even from the surface. The suspension bridge over the river offers stunning views and a sense of adventure. Engage in activities like boating and enjoy the tranquil surroundings.
Conclude your tour with a visit to the sacred Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati, one of the most revered temples in India, dedicated to the goddess Kamakhya. Seek blessings and immerse yourself in the spiritual atmosphere before departing for your onward journey.
