Day 1: Guwahati to Shillong – Gateway to the Clouds
Your Meghalaya adventure begins with a warm welcome at Guwahati Railway Station or Airport. From here, embark on a picturesque drive to Shillong, the charming capital city often referred to as the “Scotland of the East.”
The journey becomes memorable with a stop at the breathtaking Umiam Lake. Surrounded by rolling green hills and drifting clouds, this vast reservoir offers a perfect introduction to Meghalaya’s natural beauty.

Day 2: Jaintia Hills Excursion – Discover Meghalaya’s Hidden Gems
After breakfast, set off for the scenic Jaintia Hills region, renowned for its untouched landscapes and crystal-clear waterfalls.
The highlight of the day is the stunning Krang Suri Falls. Famous for its mesmerizing turquoise waters and lush surroundings, this waterfall is often considered one of the most beautiful in Meghalaya. During the monsoon season, its beauty reaches another level as rain-fed waters cascade dramatically into natural pools below.
Next, visit the lesser-known Phe Phe Falls, a hidden paradise surrounded by dense forests and peaceful landscapes. The untouched beauty of this location makes it a favorite among nature lovers and photographers seeking offbeat destinations.
After a day filled with natural wonders, return to Shillong while enjoying panoramic valley views and winding mountain roads.

The journey begins with a stop at Mawkdok Dympep Valley View Point, where endless green valleys disappear into rolling clouds, creating postcard-perfect scenery.

Further ahead, witness the majestic Seven Sisters Falls, where multiple streams flow down dramatic limestone cliffs, creating a breathtaking panorama.
Adventure enthusiasts will enjoy visiting Wei Sawdong Falls, a multi-tiered waterfall known for its emerald pools and picturesque surroundings. The short trek to the falls rewards visitors with some of the most stunning views in Meghalaya.

Spend the night amidst the misty landscapes of Cherrapunji.
