Assam and Kaziranga · 7 Nights / 8 Days
Kaziranga's grasslands, then the hills, waterfalls and living landscapes of Meghalaya, with Guwahati as a bridge.
This combined route starts in the floodplain and finishes in the hills. It allows two full days at Kaziranga, then a long transfer to Shillong, followed by Sohra, Dawki and Mawlynnong on a loop back toward Guwahati.
The Kaziranga to Shillong transfer is a long day. We offer a Guwahati overnight as an alternative for guests who prefer to split it.

Transfer to your hotel and rest. If arrival time permits, take a short river outing on the Brahmaputra, subject to operator schedules and water levels.
Drive to Kaziranga, roughly 5 hours. Settle into your lodge and join an afternoon safari if park timings allow.
Spend the day on safari across two ranges, depending on current park arrangements. Rest between slots.
After breakfast, drive to Shillong, roughly 6 to 7 hours depending on traffic and stops. This is a long transfer, so we build in meal and comfort breaks.
Explore Shillong at an easy pace: Elephant Falls, Don Bosco Museum, Ward's Lake and a local market. Continue to Sohra in the afternoon if time allows.
Spend the morning at Sohra (Cherrapunji) for waterfalls and viewpoints. Continue to Dawki for the Umngot River and Mawlynnong village, with time for short walks. Return to Shillong in the evening.
Drive back to Guwahati, roughly 3 to 3.5 hours. In the afternoon, visit Kamakhya Temple, allowing for queues.
Transfer to the airport or station for onward travel.
November to March works best for both regions. Kaziranga is closed in the monsoon.
The Kaziranga to Shillong transfer is long. A Guwahati overnight breaks it up at the cost of an extra night.
River activities depend on conditions and local arrangements.
