Meghalaya All-Girls Backpacking Holiday

Meet your group and trip captain at the Guwahati pick-up point around 11:00 AM for a short briefing before setting out on the road to Shillong. Known for its rolling hill landscapes, Shillong serves as your base for the first night. Check into your hotel after the drive and enjoy some free time. In the evening, head out into town for cafe hopping and explore the local markets at your own pace before retiring for the night in Shillong.

Have an early breakfast in Shillong, then drive toward Dawki and the Umngot River, noted for its translucent waters. On the way, stop at Krang Suri Falls to enjoy the turquoise pools and natural surroundings. Continue to the riverside settlement of Shnongpdeng near Dawki and settle into your campsite along the riverbank. In the evening, gather for a bonfire if weather permits, followed by dinner and a camp overnight stay.

Begin the day with breakfast before participating in river adventure activities including cliff jumping, boating, snorkelling, and kayaking in the clear river waters. Later, drive toward Cherrapunji across the Indo-Bangladesh border area. Visit Mawlynnong village, celebrated as Asia's cleanest village, where you can stroll along tidy orchard-lined lanes and view the neighbouring Bangladesh plains. Arrive in Cherrapunji by evening, check into your hotel, and rest.

After an early breakfast, visit the cascading Seven Sisters Falls on the limestone cliffs and enter the limestone chambers of Mawsmai Caves with their distinctive stalactites. Proceed to Tyrna Village to see a Single Root Bridge and begin the descent into Nongriat Village. Accompanied by a local guide, trek through dense forests past clear streams and blue pools to the Double Decker Living Root Bridge. Return to Cherrapunji for the night.

Eat an early breakfast and check out of your Cherrapunji hotel. First, view Nohkalikai Falls, the 1,115-foot plunge waterfall, and explore the Garden of Caves with its natural rock formations, waterfalls, and streams. Head towards Shillong, stopping at Laitlum Canyons for expansive views across Meghalaya's deep green gorges. Your final stop is the multi-tiered Elephant Falls fed by the Umshyrpi River. Arrive in Shillong and check into your hotel for your last night.

Have an early breakfast and complete check-out by 11:00 AM before starting the journey back toward Guwahati. En route, make a stop at Umiam Lake, a large reservoir set among pine-clad hills. The drive ends back in Guwahati around 5:00 PM, where you disperse for your onward travels according to your separate return schedules.
