Nestled in the northeastern corner of India, Meghalaya, often referred to as the “Abode of Clouds,” is a treasure trove of stunning landscapes, ancient traditions, and unique biodiversity. This 4 Nights 5 Days tour is an immersive journey into this enchanting land, taking you through verdant valleys, cascading waterfalls, quaint villages, and living heritage. Beginning in Guwahati, the gateway to the Northeast, the tour offers a seamless blend of natural beauty and cultural exploration, providing travelers with unforgettable experiences at every turn.
The adventure begins as you are greeted at Guwahati Airport by our representative and whisked away to Shillong, the capital city of Meghalaya. The drive itself sets the tone for the tour, with picturesque landscapes dotted with rolling hills and lush greenery. En route, a stop at Mawphlang Sacred Forest introduces you to the spiritual side of Meghalaya. This ancient grove, protected by local Khasi communities, is home to a rich variety of flora and fauna, with every element in the forest considered sacred. Walking through this serene space feels like stepping back in time, with towering trees and moss-covered rocks narrating tales of centuries-old traditions. Another highlight of the day is Umiam Lake, a stunning reservoir where the tranquil waters reflect the surrounding hills. The lake’s serene ambiance is perfect for a moment of relaxation before continuing to Shillong, where a comfortable stay awaits you.
The second day begins with a hearty breakfast before embarking on a journey to Mawlynnong, the cleanest village in Asia. The drive to this picturesque village takes you through winding roads and verdant hills, offering glimpses of Meghalaya’s unspoiled beauty. Mawlynnong is not just a visual delight but also a testament to the Khasi people’s commitment to cleanliness and sustainability. Strolling through its tidy lanes, you can see bamboo dustbins, well-maintained gardens, and houses adorned with vibrant flowers. A traditional Khasi lunch here offers a taste of local flavors and hospitality. Nearby, the Riwai Village houses the famous Single Decker Living Root Bridge, a marvel of bioengineering where aerial roots of rubber trees have been trained to form natural bridges over decades. Walking across this bridge is an experience that merges the beauty of nature with the ingenuity of human effort. The day’s itinerary also includes a visit to Dawki, a serene town near the India-Bangladesh border, known for the Umngot River, whose crystal-clear waters allow you to see the riverbed even from a boat. After an eventful day, you return to Shillong for a restful night.
The third day is dedicated to the breathtaking vistas of Cherrapunjee (Sohra), one of the wettest places on Earth. A scenic drive takes you to this high-altitude destination, where nature’s grandeur unfolds in every direction.

After this mesmerizing day, you return to Shillong, enriched with memories of nature’s wonders.
The penultimate day begins with a visit to the charming Elephant Falls, where water cascades down three tiers, creating a picturesque scene amidst a dense forest. The falls are named for an elephant-shaped rock that once graced the site, adding a touch of history to their natural charm. The rest of the morning is reserved for local shopping in Shillong, where you can pick up unique souvenirs such as handwoven textiles, bamboo crafts, and traditional jewelry.
