The journey

Travel through the verdant hills of Meghalaya, starting with a scenic lakeside drive from Guwahati up to Shillong. Head deep into Sohra to discover dramatic waterfalls, carved limestone caves and the double-decker living root bridge at Nongriat reached by an adventurous forest stair trek.

Continue across the southern slopes to Mawlynnong village, cruise the clear waters of the Umngot River in Dawki near the border, and take in the sweeping vistas of Laitlum Canyons alongside a guided walk through the ancient Mawphlang Sacred Forest.
