Confused about where to celebrate Christmas and New Year this year? Why not think about trekking in forests, or taking a dip in blue lagoons or just relaxing by the beachside? What if we tell you there exists a magical land very much in India that offers all of these activities and many more without burning a hole in your pocket? Sounds dreamy and like the perfect Christmas, right? Well, pinch yourself to reality because WanderOn is taking you all the way to the abode of clouds with our Meghalaya tour package!
Charming Landscapes If there’s one word for Meghalaya, it is exotic. It is one of the gems of Northeast India. Don’t get us wrong if we say it is one of the most beautiful seven sisters! That is because Meghalaya is a potpourri of vivid landscapes and one of the best places to celebrate Christmas. It is indeed God’s own garden with lush green mountains, mysterious caves, sparkling rivers, and some majestic waterfalls.
Richness of Culture Home to the Khasi and Garo culture, Meghalaya boasts of its unique cuisines, vibrant clothing, and melodious folk music. Though it has a moderate climate round the year, the best time to visit Meghalaya is during autumn. It is then that the famous Wangala drum festival showcases the best of its culture. Its capital Shillong, popularly known as ‘The Rock Capital of India’, has a peppy evening vibe. With scrumptious food and jamming sessions, the cafes at Shillong are so charming they would surely leave you wanting for more. Apart from cafes, there are a lot of places to visit in Shillong. The Umiam Lake, Elephant Falls, and evergreen forests are a few major attractions. There is no doubt as to why the British named Shillong as the Scotland of the East.
Most Scenic Villages of Asia Speaking of other places, the true essence of Meghalaya tourism lies in its villages. Here cleanliness is a culture that is practiced so dedicatedly, that the Village Mawlynnong is titled as the cleanest village of Asia! The Living Roots bridges at Nongriat Village are so mystical they seem to be straight out of some Peter Pan movie! Also, if you have seen those pictures of a slender boat over crystal clear waters then you already know what boating in Umngot River at Dawki Village looks like. But hey, only if looking at a picture was enough, we all would have traveled the world, right? Since that is far from being possible, you need to pack your bags and get ready to unravel the hidden beauty of NorthEast India with Wanderon’s Meghalaya tour package.

“ Nicely managed and operated..Wasil was one of the senior members of Wanderon operations team who was accompanying us on our trip. His attitude was very positive and friendly, while interacting with him we felt like we know him for years . He was very entertaining and helpful. There was never a dull moment with him. Tanushka was our trip captain and she was very much approachable, cooperative , energetic and enthusiastic. She ensured that everyone is having fun and enjoying the trip. She helped us in taking a bag full of good memories. A big shoutout to Wasil and Tanushka I will 100% recommend WanderOn and this was my second trip with them.
