Experience village life in Mawlynnong, boat across the transparent waters of Dawki, and view the panoramic gorges of Laitlum Canyon.

Continue upward to the hill station of Shillong to visit waterfalls, viewpoints, and bustling local markets. Journey down into Assam's Brahmaputra valley to Kaziranga National Park, home to the endangered one-horned rhinoceros and diverse wetland wildlife.
