Meghalaya · 4 Nights / 5 Days
Shillong, Sohra's waterfalls and caves, and a long day through Mawlynnong and Dawki, designed for a first visit.
This journey covers the most popular places in Meghalaya at a pace that leaves room for stops and weather. It includes the waterfalls and caves around Sohra, a day on the clear Umngot river at Dawki and time in Shillong.
It does not include the long Nongriat walk, which makes it suitable for most visitors, including families and older travellers.

Meet your driver at Guwahati airport or station and drive to Shillong, around three to three and a half hours, with a stop at Umiam Lake. Check in and take an evening walk around Police Bazaar.
Drive to Sohra (about one and a half to two hours), stopping at a viewpoint over the Dympep valley. Visit Nohkalikai Falls, Mawsmai Cave and Seven Sisters Falls, depending on weather and light. Overnight in Sohra.
A full day. Drive to Mawlynnong and Riwai for a short village walk and a living root bridge, then on to Dawki for a boat ride on the Umngot river, weather permitting. Return to Shillong in the evening. Expect a long day.
Visit the Don Bosco Museum, Ward's Lake and Elephant Falls, then spend the afternoon at leisure. Mawphlang Sacred Forest or Laitlum Canyons can replace some of these.
Drive to Guwahati, allowing at least three and a half to four hours before your flight or train.
Heavy rain can close caves and affect waterfalls and boat rides. We keep the itinerary flexible.
Day three is long, and you should leave early. Alternatively, spend a night near Dawki or Mawlynnong.
Short walks and steps are involved at most sites, but nothing as demanding as the Nongriat trek.
Indian visitors should carry photo ID. Foreign nationals should check current requirements.
This is a sample itinerary, not a fixed departure. Sequence, stays and activities are confirmed when we plan your journey, subject to availability, season, permits and local conditions.
