If you have not considered Meghalaya for your honeymoon, you are probably not alone. Most couples default to Bali, the Maldives, or a hill station closer to home.

Why Couples Trust WanderOn for Their Meghalaya Honeymoon
Meghalaya does not need much to make an impression on a honeymoon. The mist, the water, and the quiet forest trails do most of the work. What a good Meghalaya honeymoon tour package does is make sure nothing practical gets in the way of that.
Here is what travelling with WanderOn Meghalaya honeymoon packages looks like.
- No shared transfers, ever. Every road journey is in a private vehicle booked for the two of you. The drive from Shillong to Dawki or down to Cherrapunji is long enough to be part of the trip.
- Stays that match the setting. Every stay on this itinerary is there because of where it sits.Every stay on this itinerary is there because of where it sits. Mist over the valley in Cherrapunji, the Umngot River a few steps from your tent at Shnongpdeng, and Shillong close enough to explore on foot.
- The less-visited side of Meghalaya. Wari Chora Canyon, Krem Chympe Caves, and village trails around the root bridges. These are the stops that couples tend to remember longest, and they are built into the itinerary by default.
- Everything documented before you leave. Inner line permits, route clearances, and all of it handled and included in the package price.
- Departures are available in June, September, and October. Groups are limited to 10–20 travellers, ensuring the trip feels more like a shared adventure than a crowded bus tour.

WanderOn runs this Meghalaya honeymoon itinerary as part of its Meghalaya tour packages from Pune, Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and other major cities, with group departures across June, September, and October.
Day 1: Arrive and Settle In
Arrive at Guwahati Airport or Railway Station and meet the WanderOn representative, and transfer to Shillong. Check in to the hotel. Spend the evening browsing the local market if time permits. Overnight in Shillong.
Day 2: Canyons, Waterfalls, and a Riverside Camp
After breakfast, drive towards Shnongpdeng, stopping at Laitlum Canyon, the dramatic gorge from Rock On 2. Continue to Krang Suri Falls in Jowai, one of Meghalaya's finest waterfalls, with a turquoise pool at the base. Reach Shnongpdeng by evening and check in to the riverside camp. A good stop on any Meghalaya couple honeymoon package.
Day 3: The Cleanest Village and Cherrapunji
Morning water activities on the Umngot River before heading to Cherrapunji. Stop at Mawlynnong, recognised as the cleanest village in Asia, for a short walk through the village. Reach Cherrapunji by evening and check in to the hotel. Overnight in Cherrapunji.
Day 4: The Double Decker Root Bridge Trek
The centrepiece of most Meghalaya couple honeymoon packages. Trek from Tyrna village through dense forest to the Double Decker Living Root Bridges, guided by a local. Spend time at the bridges before the 3,000-step climb back to the base. Return to Cherrapunji by evening.
Day 5: Waterfalls and the Road Back to Shillong
After breakfast, visit the Nohkalikai Falls viewpoint and hear the story behind the name. Short hike down to Wei Sawdong Falls, a three-tiered cascade through forest, 14 km from Nohkalikai. Experiences like these are a big reason many couples choose Meghalaya honeymoon packages. Two-hour drive to Shillong for the final overnight stay.

The Most Memorable Experiences on a Meghalaya Honeymoon Trip
- Boating on the Umngot River, Dawki — The water is so clear the boat appears to float on air. An early morning ride before other groups arrive is worth planning for. One of the most photographed moments on any Meghalaya romantic trip.
- Riverside Camping at Shnongpdeng — Camps sit right on the bank of the Umngot River. Evenings here, with the water close and the hills around you, are unhurried in a way that most hill station trips are not.
- Mist and Valleys at Cherrapunji — Waking up to cloud cover rolling over the valleys from a cliffside resort is the kind of thing couples tend to mention long after the trip. Cherrapunji earns its place on every Meghalaya honeymoon package for couples for this alone.
- Double Decker Living Root Bridge — A forest trek to a bridge grown from living tree roots, guided by someone who knows the trail. Quiet, unhurried, and unlike anything on the standard honeymoon circuit.
- Laitlum Canyon at Sunrise — The canyon looks different in early light before the day warms up. Worth the early start, particularly for couples who enjoy photography.
- Cafe Hopping in Shillong — Shillong has a café culture that is genuinely its own. Live music, locally brewed coffee, and a pace that suits couples who like to explore a place on foot.
- Zipline over Mawkdok Dympep Valley — A side-by-side zipline over one of Meghalaya's deepest valleys. Brief, dramatic, and a reliable ]highlight in many Meghalaya honeymoon packages for couples who enjoy a bit of adventure.
- Nohkalikai Falls Viewpoint — The tallest plunge waterfall in India, with a story behind the name that stays with you. A quieter stop than most, and better for it.
What Does a Meghalaya Honeymoon Cost?
A 6-day, 5-night Meghalaya honeymoon package costs between ₹35,000 and ₹75,000 per couple, excluding flights to Guwahati. Unlike a family trip, the budget here shifts towards private transport, scenic stays, and unhurried experiences built around the two of you.
Cost by Travel Style
- Boutique and cosy (Khasi cottages, intimate homestays): ₹35,000 to ₹48,000 per couple
- Premium romantic Meghalaya tour package (cliffside resorts, private balconies): ₹55,000 to ₹75,000 per couple
- Ultra-luxury Meghalaya tour package (private villas, plunge pools, spa): ₹1,10,000 and above
The number moves based on accommodation, trip length, inclusions, and travel season. Couples booking Meghalaya packages from Mumbai or other cities should factor in Guwahati flights early, as fares can shift the overall cost noticeably.
Where the Meghalaya Honeymoon Cost Goes
- Stays take the largest share. Cliffside resorts in Cherrapunji run ₹8,000 to ₹18,000 per night. Boutique cottages with private bonfire setups cost ₹3,500 to ₹6,000. Properties near Umiam Lake are worth looking at for couples.
- Transport should always be private. A sedan runs ₹3,000 to ₹3,800 per day. An SUV costs ₹5,000 to ₹6,500. Shared cabs are not worth the compromise on a honeymoon.
- Food at Shillong's cafes and Cherrapunji resort dining runs ₹1,500 to ₹3,000 per day for a couple.
- Activities include private boating at Dawki (₹600 to ₹1,000), ziplining over Mawkdok Valley (₹500 to ₹1,000 per person), and local photography guides at the root bridges (₹1,000 to ₹1,500).
Best Time to Visit Meghalaya for Honeymoon
For couples, the season you pick shapes Meghalaya honeymoon packages more than almost anything else.
- June to September is when Meghalaya is at its most atmospheric. Mist over Cherrapunji, waterfalls at full volume, and riverside camps at Shnongpdeng surrounded by rain-fed green. The drive through the Khasi hills in this window is unlike any other time of year. Couples who are comfortable with occasional rain and unhurried days tend to find this the most memorable window for a Meghalaya romantic trip.
- October to November brings post-monsoon clarity. The falls are still running, the hills are green, and the weather has settled. Evenings in Shillong turn cool enough to feel like a proper hill station escape. A strong window for couples who want the landscape without the monsoon's unpredictability.
- December to February is quieter, colder, and less crowded. For couples who prefer fewer people on the trails and do not mind carrying layers, this window has its own appeal.
The monsoon and early post-monsoon months make for the most striking Meghalaya honeymoon trip. If the dates work, June to November is where most couples find the experience they came for.
