The journey

Set out from Guwahati on an expedition spanning the floodplains of Assam and the mist-laden plateaus of Meghalaya. Begin with a wildlife drive into Kaziranga National Park to search for one-horned rhinoceroses and swamp deer on an early morning jeep safari. Continue into the Khasi Hills, visiting the tiered cascades of Elephant Falls and the dramatic drop of Laitlum Canyons before arriving in Cherrapunji.

Customise your adventure with either a trek down 3,000 stone steps to the Double Decker Living Root Bridge or a leisurely excursion to Arwah Cave and Thangkharang Park. Walk the paved paths of Mawlynnong village, glide across the clear waters of the Umngot River in Dawki, and explore Shillong before returning to Guwahati.
