Overview & Highlights

Guwahati - Kaziranga - Shillong - Cherrapunjee - Mawlynnong - Shnongpdeng - Shillong - Guwahati
While everyone else fights for selfie spots in typical tourist destinations, you'll be wandering through Shillong's streets carpeted in delicate pink petals. The Shillong cherry blossom festival transforms this untouched region into a fairytale landscape that most travellers never discover.
But cherry blossoms are just the beginning. Picture yourself crossing Instagram-famous living root bridges, standing beneath thundering waterfalls like Nohkalikai, and exploring Mawlynnong – so clean it's called Asia's cleanest village. The crystal-clear Umngot River at Dawki will make you question if you're still in India.
Walking on bridges made entirely of tree roots? It's like something out of a fairy tale, except it's real and you're actually doing it! Plus, Mawlynnong village is so spotless, it puts most cities to shame.
Look, every Shillong Meghalaya Group trip we've organised has people saying it's the best vacation they've had. The mountains, the culture, the food - everything just clicks. Book with us and see what all the fuss is about!
