Overview & Highlights

Meghalaya, the abode of clouds, is one of the most beautiful states in the North-East India offering a variety of sights, activities, food and festivals to the tourists. Well known for Cherrapunji, the place which receives one of the maximum rainfalls in the world, Meghalaya can mesmerize you with its hills, valleys, lakes, caves and waterfalls which give it a beautiful look when covered with beautiful clouds.

Shillong is the most urbanization you will see in the entire state. Shillong has a lot of leftover British colonial influence that is evident from the plentiful British architecture. Owing to the magnificent lakes all around the town, and the hills surrounding it, Shillong has often been called the Scotland of the East. The Umiam Lake (also known as the Barapani Lake), is one of the primary reasons why Shillong is compared to Scotland, as the lake with rocky hills in the backdrop is reminiscent of Scotland’s Loch Lake. Umiam Lake offers various water sports activities for tourists. Other important tourist attractions in Shillong include Elephant Falls, Shillong Peak and Lady Hydari Park.

Cherrapunji is famous for its rainfall, and it used to be the wettest place on Earth before the title was taken over by Mawsynram, which is less than 100 kilometres away from Cherrapunji. The city abounds in waterfalls, the most important ones Nohkalikai and Seven Sister Falls. The living root double-decker bridge is a famous attraction in Cherrapunji, where trekking and hiking activities are offered for tourists.

If you want to look at Asia’s cleanest village, don’t forget to visit Mawlynnong. Lying on the border separating India from Bangladesh, Mawlynnong is an amazingly clean village in Meghalaya where each street corner has a bamboo dustbin to ensure nature-friendly disposal of trash. The focal point of attraction of this village is the Sky Watch, which is a bamboo structure that offers sweeping views of the Bangladeshi plains from the top.

“I had opted Meghalaya package in November 2019. An experience to cherish and remember for ever. They have planned the sights to visit, quite well for 6 days. Went there solo and met amazing people in the group. It was definitely fun with the whole lot. Place review: Meghalaya is not yet commercialized at the moment and we see a decent crowd. The nature by itself is soothing and you get to do water activities in crystal clear water during this time. The culture and people are something that you must see and explore. If you're traveling solo, WanderOn is the best and you need not have any inhibitions about being a solo female traveller which I had initially. You will definitely feel comfortable. We had Sandeep as our Captain a sweet and amazing man. Kept us engaged and entertained throughout. They changed our itinerary a bit to visit a place Wei Sawdong which a travel companion chose to visit. Hence they can be flexible. A great travel partner - WanderOn

“Wanderon is worth the rating you see everywhere. I’ve been to Meghalaya with Wanderon and it became one of the best trips I’ve toured in my life I always say more than the place the company you have matters ..... so if Meghalaya was a 10/10 place WanderOn made it a 15/10 with their amazing customer service. One amazing fact is they are pretty flexible to take you to new places other than itenary , we were the first group which went to Wai Sawdong falls , which we asked for and it was truly a great gesture by Wanderon to accommodate that in our itenary..... All other travel groups take you to Dawki .... but WanderOn takes you up the hill to Kshonpedeng ,this is the starting point of dawki crystal clear lake and is way better than Dawki .... these guys are real professionals and make the trip worth every penny you paid ... They stay they provide is very cozy clean and comfortable with no complaints Our group captain Sandy was the star of the show ... can’t thank him enough for his Jam sessions , bonfire and all the amazing stories he had to share about his other trips If you are a solo traveller wanderon is your best buddy!!!!

“I completed my first solo trip with Wanderon last month for Meghalaya and it was quite amazing. The quality of stay, properties & most important our group captain's "Sandy" cool , supportive & friendly company was icing on the cake. He is quite an experienced traveller, plays guitar & sings song very well. We had great jamming sessions with him during the trip. It was a memorable experience travelling with Wanderon. I highly recommend them for your future group travels

But i must say wanderon has made all the arrangements like accomodation, food, travel plan and everything soo perfectly. And our trip leader "Sonal" she is just so amazing. She handled everything so perfectly and left no stone unturned to make sure that her team enjoys the trip. Thank you sonal for everything. 😊💓
