Meghalaya and Kaziranga for Women

Meet your group at Guwahati Airport around midday for an introductory briefing with your trip captain. Board your vehicle for the 98-kilometre journey climbing into Meghalaya's hills to Shillong, taking about four hours. Check into your hotel upon arrival. Later in the evening, head out into the town centre for cafe hopping and to explore the local markets. Return to your hotel to spend the night in Shillong.

Have breakfast at your hotel before setting out on an 88-kilometre drive towards the Dawki region. On the way, visit Krang Suri Falls, where you can admire the bright turquoise pool framed by rocky hills. Continue to Dawki on the Umngot River, known for its crystal-clear water, and reach the nearby riverside village of Shnongpdeng. Check into your riverside campsite. In the evening, gather around a camp bonfire if weather permits. Dinner is served at camp before your overnight stay in tents.

Start the day with breakfast by the river. Take part in guided water activities on the Umngot River, including boating, kayaking, snorkeling, and cliff jumping. Afterward, depart on a 90-kilometre drive toward Cherrapunji. The route runs close to the Indo-Bangladesh border and stops at Mawlynnong, recognized as Asia's cleanest village, where you can walk under green orchards and look out over the plains of Bangladesh. Complete the drive to Cherrapunji, check into your hotel, and rest for the night.

Eat an early breakfast and head to Seven Sister Falls to view the cascades pouring down the cliff face. Step into Mawsmai Caves to see its stalactite formations, followed by a stop at a single living root bridge. Travel to Tyrna Village, the trail head for the hike, and descend through forested paths towards Nongriat Village. Accompanied by a local guide, follow the river trail past butterflies and natural pools to reach the Double Decker Living Root Bridge. Trek back to the vehicle and return to your hotel in Cherrapunji for the night.

After an early breakfast, check out and drive towards Shillong. Your first stop is Nohkalikai Falls, plunging 1,115 feet into a forested gorge. Continue to the Garden of Caves to walk among its natural caverns, waterfalls, and streams. Head next to Laitlum Canyons for sweeping views of the deep ridges and valleys of Meghalaya. Closer to the city, visit Elephant Falls, a three-tiered cascade fed by the Umshyrpi River. Arrive in Shillong, check into your hotel, and spend the night.

Eat breakfast, then set out on a 252-kilometre drive out of the Meghalaya hills into Assam. En route, make a stop beside Umiam Lake, a wide reservoir bordered by sylvan hills. Continue the drive down towards the plains and lush jungles surrounding Kaziranga National Park. Upon arrival, check into your resort property. Spend the remainder of the day resting and enjoying on-site recreational activities amidst the green surroundings. Stay overnight near Kaziranga.

Wake early for a jeep safari through the grasslands and forests of Kaziranga National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for the great Indian one-horned rhinoceros, wild elephants, and deer. Following the safari, return to freshen up and complete checkout by 11:00 AM. Board your vehicle for the 191-kilometre drive back to Guwahati, arriving around 19:00 at Guwahati Airport for your flight home.
